I just can't believe shooting a target at 150 yards with a pistol

[@toddandrews9829]

That was my thought when even with todays improved ballistics and sights I don't believe it's possible on a consistent basis, especially considering those were black powder with a blade and a small notch for rear.🤔🧐

Cowboys was the word used as a derogatory to identify the black men that worked on cattle ranches.

My fav outlaw is Billy the Kid; the dude is was just trying to survive in a violent territory ; also, he had a colourful, upbeat personality and was bilingual, plus he knew how to read and write, both he and Nate had same skills, they were friends or got along?
