You might not be happy with the 100 yard target but there would be meat all over the table with it.

Great targets and given the conditions, that includes the 100 yarder.

Now that Doc says knee is good, I think I’ll get the 1860 out and go to range. Thanks RR for the inspiration!

Haha, thanks....I will endeavor to post a better 100 yd with the elusive Highwall when it shows up....currently sitting at the border somewhere in a crate while some Canadian border agent looks for reasons to delay things. :)
The 100 yarder looks good to me.

I have the ladder sight up and either sitting at the bottom or up just slightly depending on the wind or other variables I have yet to identify...basically I am guessing windage and elevation at 100 yds or more.

I have shot 200 yds a few times but not great results. A 12 inch target is a dot with open sights. Got the odd lucky hit. Luck is the word. It is a rainbow trajectory.

really good to see another of your range reports .... as to the 100 yard'er, shooting offhand, I'd be happy with half of those hits after firing twice the number of rounds .. :D
This right here. At 100 yards off hand or even one knee I’d need to paint the side of a barn white. Big barn. Then maybe I could hit ten of twenty.
