Dan.
Are you going to let me shoot my .44-77 with barrel sights?
It's the only rifle I have with sights that will reach that far. Big Grin

Kurt,
We'll stretch a point for you and call .44 larger than .40. Big Grin

Of course, you can shoot your .44-77 but the question is, do you have enough elevation on the staff? I will look at my rifle and tell you what my come up is to put my bullets on the target. Back to you in an hour or so.

Dave I don't have a tang sight that has enough elevation to reach a mile. I figure on using the 77 with the Lawrence barrel sight with the blade. I used that rifle at 1585 yards and still room to slide the slide up more on the ladder. A mile is just less then 200 yards more.
We shot this Buff at Rowdy Ricks place in the sand hills at 1585 yards and I used the barrel sights on the .44-77. It took a few shots till I found it but the wind was up a little.
Rick has a nice range set up like the Quigley. Here is the buff we shot at.

And here is a shot with the camera at full zoom..... We had a great time.

Kurt,
If you can get to that 1585 Buffalo with room to spare on your staff, you should be good. My 200 yd set is 62 minutes and a mile is in the 425 area for my .45-70 with 530 gr bullet over 70 gr 2Fg.

Come early and practice up.

Very good!! I will bring a couple 100 pound blocks of ice to cool the place down in August Smile

Looking forward to seeing you. I will be sure to shoot down wind from you and your ice.
