[Shooter 2.5]

You're going to love this. The U.S. Army had developed a system like this so they could measure various rounds. They invited Mike Venturino out to the Yuma testing grounds. Since they now had something to track individual small arms bullets, they invited Mike out so they could duplicate Billy Dixon's shot at Adobe Walls. The article was in the September 94 issue of Shooting Times.
To the Freepers who aren't familiar with Billy Dixon, he was in an Indian fight at Adobe Walls, Texas with Bat Masterson. In a lull in the battle, a group of Indians were on a bluff and Billy was invited to take a shot with a borrowed "Big fifty", actual caliber unknown. He shot one of the Indians off his horse, an admitted "Scratch Shot". An Army surveying group later measured the distance to be 1538 yards.

Oh, you already heard that one?
