That couple could defend Australia...by themselves.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Pretty good shooting, could you imagine a squad of mates standing their ground via volleyfire? Invading Kiwi's wouldn't have a chance

That's pretty impressive if you think about offhand, and that visible wind blowing.
The long range Sharps rifles and a steady rest have done some impressive shooting. I think Billy Dixon used a 45-90 or 50-90, or something very similar for his famous shots at Adobe Walls at over 1500 yards.

I'd for sure not bother with off hand attempts at that range. Looks like as good a reason as any to get out though.
Do have a Sharps, but I've not taken it that far out yet.
That is one sturdy setup they have for the spotter.

I just spent 1/2 hour looking over a sample of their YouTube videos.
I wish Mrs. Walter was as excited to shoot with me.

That would be impressive if he was prone, but offhand is exceptional...especially when the BC of the 325 FTX is .230 (G1).

Yup. Billy Dixon had a 45-90 but he borrowed a 50-90 for the legendary shot.

Maybe he ran out of ammo for the 45-90, or didn't have the best sights on it for the distance.
