[Jeff Higgins]

Two of the unluckiest guys in the history of long range shooting; that unfortunate Indian on his horse at Adobe Walls and that Afgan rebel standing on the wrong side of his rig.

Mike Venturino took a bunch of old buffalo guns out to some Army range (I believe in New Mexico somewhere - where is that Charles Keifner when we need him?) that was equiped with radar used to track the flight of projectiles. He got some great data while there. One of the more interesting datapoints was just how steep the bullet path was from that Big Fifty at the range that Billy nailed that guy. Essentially, that poor guy could have been just a few feet closer or further away and the bullet would have passed over his head or impacted at his feet. Just wasn't his day...
