Competitive shooting is pretty harsh competition in Kentucky too. The highpower match shooters at the local rifle club around here can do scary things at 200 yards on open sights with customized AR type rifles and the venerable Springfield Armory M1A.
It always amazes me how many shooters can put several bullets through the same hole at 100 yards. We are a nation of snipers.
I am going to be using peep sights at 800, 900 and 1,000 yards.
Black powder cartridge. Gonna be tough.
