So many shooters today rely on scopes, bipods, benched rest gear & tactical built rifles to enhance their limited abilities. I'm one of those that do too. When I see a fellow shooting open-sights free-handed. It pleases me. On occasion I've deliberately turned my spotting scope to observe just how well that fellow does. Be it 25-50 or further its no matter. A good shot is always worth watching. To shoot as good a group as you accurately at 50 yards with a common hunting rifle and done so with basic open sights. That sir no doubt would be a real challenge to this old duffer.

On that playing card if that's your typical. Your doing much better than allot of us could.
As far as Civil War Sharpshooters go. 150 years ago those fellows were the best of the best in their time. I'm actually more interested in who's the best of the best these days in our Armed Services. That's a fellow's hand I'd consider it a Honor to shake and yours also.
