@hxccomms777 You seemed to be doing quite well at the most challenging part of the Quigley Match when I was filming on the line. How do you feel you performed through the entire match? I apologize for the crude video, I can't bear to throw away a perfectly functioning camera, despite it developing a small black spot in the lower right of the image. Thank you for watching.

Wow! What a marvelous place to ring the steel. Silly me would have probably shot at the white Buffalo with the 805 on him:) I would be happy if you sent me a note regarding your experiences. Thank you for showing us what it looks like. No shot timers and a few old timers.

You kind of lost me around 3:20 with the fact you are not using Black Powder. I hope you have come around and have switched over. Otherwise, a great video.

If I could find a reliable supply of Swiss 1 1/2 Fg black powder in Canada, I would use black powder. Smokeless powder is becoming available again after Covid 19, except no shotgun or black powder yet. Thank you for watching.

All the talk about "beautiful rifles" but no close-ups of the rifles. Would it have been so hard to ask a contestant to pause a moment to allow a slow pan of a rifle?

I talked to several people about getting close ups of their rifles. They were hesitant about about the possibility of appearing on KZitem. I have to respect their wishes. The best way to see these rifles is for you to attend next year. Thank you for watching.

It was an excellent experience. Life is short, if you can arrange this competition for a holiday or part of a holiday, you will never forget this experience.

My apologies for the late reply. At times I had trouble seeing the targets with all that dust in my eyes! The action in my rifle was packed with fine dust, grinding each time I dropped the lever.

Johnny, I live near Toledo, OH., & it's about 1,500 miles to the ranch from here. I first found out about this match during the winter of 2015-16. I have a nice 1884 Springfield "Trapdoor" .45-70 rifle, so I learned about reloading Black Powder Cartridges, made some phone calls to ask questions, loaded up 100 rounds (not enough-need 48 just for the match), & left on Friday, a week before the match. Fuel pump quit Saturday night near Jackson, MN, so, didn't get there until Tuesday night. Long story short, I only hit 7 out of 48 shots, but had a very good time visiting with veteran shooters & learning about the sport. I went back in 2017, 18 & 21. Because of my wife having health problems, & my age (81), the distance, I probably won't get to go again. If you have the chance, & the desire to do this, do it. Your score doesn't matter, except to you, but the experience is worth every bit of it. I'm glad that I have the memories. Afterwards in 2016, I visited Little Bighorn Battlefield, Cheyenne, WY, a cousin in Littleton, CO, then went to Long Beach, CA to visit family, then Rt.66, Barstow & Needles, then Lincoln & Ft. Sumner, NM (Billy the Kid), Davis gun museum in Claremore, OK then back home, 1,600 miles in 3 weeks, 2 days. Other years, Wagon Box Battlefield, Ft. Phil Kearney, Forsyth Massacre site, Ogden, UT Union Pacific & John Browning Museums, Ft. Robinson, Deadwood, SD & many other historical sites.

My sincere apologies for my late reply. What a wonderful comment, thank you. Doug and I had an adventure getting to the match as well, not as significant as your travels in 2017. Next year we are going to take some extra time and do some more sight seeing in America. Doug and drove 3150 miles in total, from rural Ontario.

It was entertaining as well as enjoyable. There was a much more relaxed atmosphere than at many matches in Canada.
