    All of you FR shootists, I have a question for you: Would it be possible/likely to INTENTIONALLY graze a man's head without killing him, shooting at night in a wind, with no scope using an 1870's rifle? Supposedly the person making this shot was a Civil War trained sharp shooter. The target is moving into the light of a wind blown campfire when he is shot. I say this is hard to believe. Can any of you shooters give me your two cents? Oh, this is fiction for a western someone is writing.
