Good words, Red
But keep in mind that for a Dragoon, a horse was also a target. I am suggesting that your functional score was higher.
I just finished reading an early account of the building of the transcontinental railroad. There is a first person narrative of a railroad worker's horse being struck four times with light caliber rounds (the author used the term "balls" although I don't know for sure he meant "roundballs") in an indian raid. The horse lived to fight another day.
