In the not too distant past there have been several articles about that 'long shot' and recreations of it, using similar rifles and loads. Considering that he was aiming at a group, and got one was still a good showing, and he did have the elevation right, even if not the windage. Ive taken enough 'off the cuff' shots at targets (not game) to know that sometimes the magic just works; I smile and act like it happens all the time while I put the rifle away and go for a 'lemonade'.
Is that SF still around and how is she doing?
