We takin' you back...Way back.
Here's an old school joint for y'all:
Here's an old school joint for y'all:
"Don't worry boys, they can't hit an elephant at this dist---"...
Those were the last words of Union general John Sedgwick surveying his position at Spotsylvania Court House (May 9, 1864) before a Confederate sharpshooter whacked him from 1200 yards away with a 450 grain hexagonal bolt.
"Git' off my lawn..."
"Chill bro, you ain't got grass on your lawn right now".
"GIT' OFF MY FUCKIN' LAWN FUCKTARD"
Those southern slave owning Democrats really could shoot
Rope burn- that’s smoking

Both sides were equally matched actually. I wouldn't fuck with Berdan's Rangers (Union) on any day either. These guys can rack up a tally big time.
That's pretty impressive. I shot NSSA a couple of times, short distance compared to that. I did hit a NRA 300 yard target at 300 with a Repro 1853 Enfield though. Still not 800. That's a hell of a shot.
A Whitworth. Sgt. Berry Benson although he said he didn't know for sure if it was Sedgwick or not.
Or the Iron Brigade. Stonewall Brigade and the Iron Brigade effectively beat the living shit out of each other before 1864. Probably the best soldiers each side had.
I don't think he even had a scope. The scopes of the period (Malcom) were not very reliable and prone to fogging in the heat and humidity of Virginia in late spring. The sharpshooters who used Whitworths and 2-band Enfields wouldn't have relied on such expensive rigs. They would have done their jobs with iron sights. Sergeant Benson most likely made that shot with irons. Maybe a stock-mounted vernier or peep at most.
Now it is time to really push the envelope.

Guys, all this Civil War talk is interesting and all but...where are the titties? And not yours, I don't want to see yours.
He actually said in his book "Confederate Scout Sniper" that he used an Enfield more often. There were not nearly enough Whitworths and the Enfield with irons was plenty good. He never really surrendered. Never took the oath. Just went home to SC and lived a very quiet life. He was a well respected man with few if any enemies.
Oh shit, you stopped me just in time. I was just about to snap a pic of mine...
OK I hear ya. I just like rifles better now. Overall they have cost me less money fewer sleepless nights.
Titties and rifles...
One makes a man take up binge drinking and writing sad country-western lyrics. The other gets a man off the bottle and into the fields and woods where he belongs.
You had to ask. I just barfed all over my key board.
We lead junkies need our fix too
