Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire ~The Quigley Shoot~

I like to see this kind of stuff!

I think you'll enjoy it too.

Most of that area use to be a B 52 Missile range back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, thru the early 80s...

so they aren't going to hit anything that they might hurt.

That would be fun.

Looks like a lot of fun!

When I was gifted my S/Sharps in 45-110 by my friend ET (Jim Martin) as a retirement gift, Sharpsguy (Bill Bagwell RIP) invited me out to his place in Texas for a crash, PdD level course in the art of "Holy Black", from rolling paper patch bullets, grease cookies, the works. I was amazed that just after a few shots, I was routinely hitting the 500 yard ram target.

A couple of years later, we hunted bison together in Wyoming along with Doc Rocket and another former post here, EH76. For me it was like a page out of the west, had the buffalo slowly grazing towards us whilst we were concealed behind an old Sheep herder's stone marker. The shot was right at 102 yards and when I came of recoil, all I saw was the buffler with all four legs up in the air. Fun times..

Cool stuff for sure

That’s too cool. Another gun to be bought now, here I thought the pretty Mohican had enough guns…
Hopefully I can make it to this coming spring event.

That maybe a trip in the next year or two!

Lotsa Folks.

Very Cool
Thanks for the post

Pretty cool. Looks like fun.

I went to my first Quigly match in 2006, I have not missed a match there since , love it. It's a grand event the biggest of its kind on the planet. The people who come are all shooters and staunch 2a advocates. You can shoot for 5 days prior the comp starting Sat 9 am.
More 45-70's fielded there than any other cartridge. From 38-55's to the 50-140 Sharps. You see more 74's , highwalls&clones, trapdoors, rollers and Eastcoast parlor guns of all types than at the gunshows. Yeah I like it....mb

That looks lie a lot of fun.

My neighbor shoots it. His first year, he missed winning it by 1 'hit'. Next year he won the men's division. Amazing shooting with iron sights.

What I love to see is the young kids getting into this stuff! We people who’ve grown up with our guns are fine, but there’s a helluva lotta younger people who have never been taught the things that we all love (and live for).
Here at home, the Chestnut Ridge Bow & Gun club has been supporting young shooters. Our high school has a pretty good shooting team, and we’ve been doing all we can to support them.
We got (IIRC) 5 rifles granted to them by the NRA. And they’re using our indoor range free of charge.
These young people are the future of our nation, and I’m very proud of having been small part of that.
I’d love to send soma our kids out there.
Maybe I’ll bring it up at the next meeting.

I’d love to attend the Quigley shoot someday.

Great pics.

The Quigley is about 5 miles from my front door.

This is why I am a 4-H shooting coach and a member of a Friends of NRA committee. I’m try to put as many kids outdoors and behind a trigger as possible.

That looks like an absolutely splendid way to have fun. The whole package!
