"Said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it." My favorite Western movie of al time, and my favorite quote. Thanks so much for this demonstration.
@@markandsamafterwork I expected the cavalry to ride in after your shooting and then I was looking for the Bushman to surround you and them to protect you. Amazing shooting sir. Should have used a wooden bucket though...
Our club shoots a 10 shot offhand match at 500 yards on a Buffalo steel target. It’s cut from 48x48 plate. Single shot, iron sight, lead bullets. Cartridges from 38/55 to big 45’s 6-7 out if 10 not uncommon has been won with 10/10. Those rifles will shoot no doubt about it. Close misses you had would have all hit our target. Nice work
Beautiful shooting as always. Anyone that can do these type of shots that are parabolic and basically artillery are amazing. Doing it with irons is extraordinary.
Truly amazing. You two folks are quite a team and inspiration. I just received my Shiloh Sharps 45-70 with a 34 inch barrel after a year and nearly five months wait. I cannot wait to test fire it and our nearby range. Thanks for sharing these wonderful videos.
Okay... so, and I'm sure that you've been asked this already, but how many carrots are you two eating daily? And I, for science purposes only, mean exactly how many carrots. Also, the sheep are some of my favorite characters in this show. Love you guys
Carrots are a real thing. The night before I did my final rifle qualification for the US Army Infantry school at Ft Benning back in the early 90s, my Senior Drill Sergeant said he had a secret weapon to help us shoot Expert. He opened up a burlap sack filled with carrots and told us to eat two of them
@@bluecordterrainsolutions that's... real?! I mean, I do eat my carrots but I had no idea. That's awesome, just two huh. As the old saying goes "two carrots a day, keeps the..." Nvm... I'll just keep eating carrots.
yea the 1874 quigley is veey heavy.. lol i csn hold it up steady but im pretty strong. my gf though haha barely could.. i have a video of her shooting it like a shotgun haha
Quigleys shooting skills are phenomenal. But to the decerning movie watcher his true superpower is ranging the bucket. A heavy bullet at that range and velocity is arching like a horseshoe and has to be sighted to an exact range or no dice.
Except that the entry and exit holes are pretty much parallel to the ground. If the bullet arced like you claim, the exit hole would be in the bottom of the bucket.
699 scope wouldn't help much ,that gun doesn't have the ability to consistently hit the bucket at that distance,then there is a little problem of holding the rifle steady enough to hold on target,then of course the open sights make aiming at the bucket impossible at that distance and so after a number of shots he fluke'd a hit but couldn't repeat,there are people who can do slightly better but the fact remains hitting the bucket is a fluke....now try the 782 yd bucket shot which is just another 327 yards farther....of course you'll need a scope just to see the bucket but little facts like that aren't necessary for a movie and possibly best left out
I am getting one of those rifles as soon as I can find one. 45-70 with a 30" octagon. Though I am looking for the sporter stock instead of the straight. I figure the 30 inch will do everything I need.
Great shot. Love that movie and that is my favorite part. Well that and the end. My arm was getting tired watching you hold that heavy rifle up. Awesome work and vision to get in that with irons/peep.
Incredible video and amazing skills. I enjoy watching all of your videos. This one is just special. You make a great team and a great couple. Keep up the excellent work.
That looks like fun. I bought two 1874 receiver kits several years ago. I built one up in 50-90 and am in the process of building the second one up in either 40-70 BN or 40-82. A 14 lb rifle is hard to hold steady after only a few shots. Great job...
450yards... offhand... iron sights.... fantastic shooting... The set trigger is excellent for offhand shots.... I had a 7 x 57 hunting rifle with one, a single trigger job, but settable, and it was a boon offhand as you knew exactly when the loud noise was going to happen....
Great shooting. Many decades ago during basic, I remember being told (and experiencing) that at 400m, pretty close to 450yds, you can't differentiate between torso, head and limbs when using an open sight, it is true. So, a small bucket is about the size of a big head, like mine, and the shooting of near centre of that bucket is very impressive. At my best, when shooting evey day, I'd have managed an occasional shot like that (after quite a bit of sighting in), so, watching you do that was just great. I doubt if my old arthritic body and weak eyes could manage that prone these days, so, I can only hope that we don't get invaded by bucket like aliens anytime soon. Thanks for the video.
Great video. Very entertaining. Most impressive. your shooting abilities are amazing. I was watching the end of the barrel you had to be timing when the sights were coming to the target. My grandfather use to call it wobbling on.
Love your videos, amazed at every one I watch. I use to shoot alot. Not at your distances. It's got to be a great feeling to hit at those ranges. I live in Alabama, not many places to even see that far. Keep up the great work.
How hards a German shootzen to acquire? I Know they have run through your mind lol..mark I’ve been around with you guys since you started and I tell ya the way you n Sam eat,breathe,work, then shoot n communicate is truly amazing and inspiring…for 2 people to mesh that well spendin every second together says alot about you both…give n take makes it work…very thankful and greatful just to watch such a couple do good…matt all the way n Kentucky
Well, I gotta tell ya, you had me at .45-70. And that was a truly fantastic shot, just pleasurable to watch. Didn't realize a .45-70 could go that far, but I haven't shot my little 1895 Marlin enough to find out. Good long range shooting is always a joy...
Hey Mark, regards to Sam…another amazing video! All the previous comments have pretty much said it all….phenomenal shooting that was well explained and executed….proof is in the pudding…or should that be…there’s a hole in the bucket? Great video, thank you both for sharing! All the best and keep us all updated with any moves against your sport, the public will get behind you and Sam if made aware!
Hey from Knob Creek Road Kentucky. Good to see a well reasoned, true to life, version of "The Quigley Bucket Shot". Your estimation(s) of the distance with the Marston Homestead in the background of the foreground bucket seemingly isn't considered in most if not all estimations of distance in reference to "the shot". Most distances estimated seemingly are based on a time measurement. Be that total time of the scene, time of the rider or time of the actions of Tom Selleck. Admittedly, this technique hasn't ever occurred to myself and I will be referencing it from here on. On a side note , Brownells is now in possession of Tom Selleck's Quigley rifle. Hate for you to go through the trouble to find Tom Selleck so you can borrow it when he's no longer the keeper of it. Great shooting as always and great job with the distance.
Well then! I'm lucky to hit something that size off-hand unsupported at 100 yards! Most people have no idea how small things become at distance! Great job you two!
@@jakeroberts7435 I put a scope on my 30-30 because I thought what if 200 or 300 and then realized, I have rifles for all that and plus the scope removed all the charm of "Cowboy"
@@chrislang5659 I've got scopes on my 30/30 and 45/70 but last month l purchased a Rossi lever action carbine in .45 and it will remain scopeless. Love that gun, its sweet
Really enjoy your videos, especially when you are talking more and giving descriptions of your shots, that being said, I know you let your shooting do the talking most of the time. Cheers!
This was a while back but I think I just saw it. Mark i shoot a Remington Rolling Block by Numrich Arms, Buffalo Hunter, in 45/70 with the Missouri coated 405gr bullets. I load 16.0gr of Unique which pretty much duplicates the 70gr black powder load. My rifle has a 32” barrel with 1 1/8” across the flats. At 18# it’s a heavy bugger but it shoots lights out. Good on you!!!!!
very good shooting Mark , standing and free hand at that distance, well done , just goes to show how good those " old " rifles were, not exactly a rapid fire weapon, I have used one of these rifles, good fun , sorts the man from the boys LOL, shout out to your spotter , she does a great job, have a great day.
Mark, that is the sort of wacky shooting that is the most fun. Very well done!!! I would love to see what you could do with an air rifle, I’m at 125 yards with a ‘22. (200mmX200m plate).
Great vid mate . Long way to see a bucket lol. One of my favorite shots (only 1 a comp) is a fundraiser for Kids with cancer, that a couple in our WARA association run at major comps. 1 round, after our last detail at the longest range. (usually 900 yards) Its placed on the backstop mound, so usually 25-30 or so yards further than sight set for last range, gotta calculate that in . We shoot at a chalk powder filled garden gnome. 6 inch by 3 inch. Finish our detail, collect our gear, then move to the end of the mound, lay down and fire 1 round at gnomey. lol. With iron peeps its pretty much impossible to see the gnome, so have to find it with the spotting scope, decide what to use as reference, then let her go. Ive clipped it on the bottom 🤔i think(took the dirt out from under and tipped it over) but didnt break the target, so a miss lol. That gnominator patch is a prize worth shooting for. A bit of fun at the end of a weekend comp for a good cause :)
Beautiful work !!! These are the best times ! Shooting at targets with nothing but hope to assist your skill in getting your bullet on target :). Well done !

He did say that it was what he had so...but yes I bet a wood bucket had been fun to see
Mine also!
Watching the barrel waving around you’re never going to hit a target that small from a standing position except by accident.
Fourteen pound Sharps rifle shooting off hand and nailed it. That's pretty damn impressive I'd say.
Cheers
Movies are fantasy.
nice video nice rifle nice shot, a bright colored bucket filled with ashes from the fireplace works great, a puff of ashes confirms hit
Lol, Cheers
A big part of this couples lives is putting bullets through things at distance, or smacking steel at long range. And they are good at it, amazing.
