I wonder if they SAW that coming.
She was raised in a town very close to where my family is from and where several of us communited to for our careers. Sadly she is old enough to be my mother. What a looker.
Thank you for sharing.
That’s a book I will try to pick up.
I have an Italian copy of the sharps rifle in 45-70 and it is great fun to shoot out to 300 yds. I have read that Sharps rifles were available from 45-70 to 45-120. The Quigley Shiloh Sharps rifle was 45-110. A very interesting part of our history.
Thank you for sharing..50-70 Gov't most likely. New articles from the time mention the rifle brands but not the cartridges used. The NRA annual report from that year lists ".50 caliber cartridges for sale" on the grounds for the event.

Cartridges were 50 cal. metallic, lol
Interesting targets
There is a whole ‘nuther world of shooting that is BPCR (black powder cartridge rifles) . It is way deeper than we can get into here. Winchester called them 45-70 or 45-110 etc, the purists call them by their Sharps designation e.g., Sharps 45-2 1/10 or Sharps 45 2-7/8 respectively. There are at least 4 of the 45 cal straight walled cases, and a bunch of others.
As for the Creedmoor matches, the US F Class team has been shooting regular matches with the Irish for a few yrs now. They call it the Emerald Cup
. It’s a huge deal there. As I recall the team met with the Irish PM a couple of yrs ago. Private firearms ownership being what it is there.
Now thats what happens when you don't treat the case of the crabs.....you get a case of the lobsters....
Talk about going out like a boss, this is the flight tracker of the first flight of the last ever built 747. If you’ve never flown on one, you are truly missing out!
Found it!

I'm a member of an old German shooting club that was founded in 1887.

Flew from Europe back to the east coast in the upper deck once. Was a nice comfy flight
A few torpedo tubes on the side, maybe some 30MM's, looks like it'd be a fun ride. Toss in some Gray paint.. and don't forget about the lowest bidder....Found it!

Pegasus-class hydrofoil - Wikipedia
Many people don't realize how amazing loading for them is because it is the simplest, yet potentially most complicated handloading there is. You can literally just fill the case all the way to the top, jam a bullet on it and shoot it. And it may shoot very well. On the other end of the spectrum is the potential for far and away the most complicated loading, that makes a bench rest shooter's minutia look simple. There are so many additional variables and combinations of same that you can make yourself crazy exploring them all.

Powder charge, Compression, wad stack, alloy, lube, bullet size, casting in general…. yea, loading for bottlenecked cases with jacketed bullets and smokeless is simple by comparison. Paper patching anyone?
Schuetzen is another creature. Never did it, used to shoot with two guys who did every Saturday. Was talking to one of them, they know the pedigrees on rifles that are close to 100 yrs old, who built them, when. Was talking about components guy holds up a case, “been shooting this one for the last 5 yrs”. One case?! Every shot, decap, throw a charge, place a wad breach seat a cast (or swaged) bullet chamber the case and shoot. Repeat. One piece of brass for 5 yrs.
