A green beer and a milk bone will fix that.

And people made fun of long distance rifle shooters back then just like they do today.

Yeah, the first international competition at Creedmoor, was the Irish, Scots, British and U.S.A. 15 shots for each member of a team at 800, 900 and then 1000 yards. The Americans took the lead at 800 yards, but the Irish started inching their way back at 900 yards, and then again at 1000 yards. In the end the Irish were ahead, but the last American (John Bodine), with his last shot took the win.

Sorry my bad hearing says to me WTF was that

I didn't know vultures migrated or a variation thereof.

It's my understanding that TV migrate to Mexico for our winters. They are very consistent for West Texas, they come back after the last frost, it seems.

According to this, they come out your way to screw. Lol

I've always lived within 100 miles of current and see buzzards year round.

I know. A cherished copy of "Irish Riflemen in America" by Arthur Leech rests on my bedside table at this very moment.

I wish I could find a photo of one of those true Creedmoor rifles designed for a reclined shooting position. They have tangent sights mounted atop the buttplate and I think they're really cool. A quick google search only turns up drawings from that period, like this one.

However, I get the impression that most folks made do with a more conventional rear sight placement.

One of the reasons I spent well over an hour researching 'Creedmoor' is that I found the history of it fascinating, and read through much of what I found. Having a 6mm Creedmoor myself I had known that the cartridge was developed by Creedmoor Sports, I just thought that was where it ended. I never thought the name went further back (over 100 years) in the firearm field than that.

Been a long day. Got a few things accomplished. Going to bed, got things to do tomorrow.
