Very nice!I have been slowly trying to put together a "Cowboy Action Shooting" rig, and yesterday I found the remaining three main piece; (2) 5.5" "Smoke Wagons" (1873 revolvers) and an 1866 "Yellow Boy" The first Item I found earlier this year was a 2""Coach Gun"

Actually the whole Knoxville area is a fairly decent place to be. I used to live in the area of Lovell Rd and Pellisippi Parkway.Maryville is such a nice little town! I'm sure S&W employees will like it as much as I do...
Another cool phenomenon from the 600yd line, if conditions are P.E.R.F.E.C.T on the angle of the sun, you can see a flash of copper off of the bullet at the top of it's trajectory on the way to the target! It's quite the thing when you get a hundred shooters all blasting at the same time!
Not sure if you are referring to rifles with or without optics. The reason I bring this up is that I am a FAL guy, the AR-15 platform is okay, I have one, but give me a battle rifle any day. (Not trying to start an argument.) There are numerous articles and videos of shooting the FAL out to 600 yards with iron sights. Iron sights! How the bloody heck can you do that? My FAL carries a Leopold 3.5x10 but it throws off the balance of the weapon and adds weight. Without the glass I couldn't hit squat. Will go to something smaller and lighter once the funds are available.
Anyway, the most amazing video I've seen is a young man shooting irons at a metal silhouette at 600 yards. Gun shot, pause and gong, over and over again.
I can barely keep shots on paper at over 100 yards without optics. Of course, my eyes are 6 decades old and I was never formally trained. Way back in my younger years I thought I was hot shite shooting 3" groups at 400 yards with a Remington 700, 7mm Mag mounted with a high end Leopold scope.
If there is a magic spell, special pill or a seasoned chicken foot that could help me hit anything at 600 with irons, I'd do it.
I got one of these way back when I was shooting black powder. Helps the front & rear sights and target stay in focus (or at least better). Same principle as cranking down your camera's aperture to increase depth-of-field.If there is a magic spell, special pill or a seasoned chicken foot that could help me hit anything at 600 with irons, I'd do it.
Very nice! I’m jealous.It aint much, but we have a 200 yard range open now, which is nice to have at the home range.
