In the late 70's we had semi long range matches here in kansas. Equipment had to be traditional equipment of the buffalo hunting era. Most of the rifles at the time were original equipment from the buffalo hunting time frame. Always fun to see the originals come out and do what they did so well. The prize was one live buffalo to be shot and divided amongst the winners. I had the fortune or misfortune to win at one but my choice of equipment wasn't quite what it might have been. Used a 38-55 ballard at that match so that's what I had to shoot the buffalo with. One shot behind the ear did quite nicely. This thing was just turned loose and was quite lively I might add.
