Marc, hunting for wabbit in 1853 was no laughing matter, especially with an Enfield rifle

It was the back stop for an 1850s rifle range..going to go back and dig up some more..Hope to get over a 1000 next time I go out.
They all came out of an area 7 feet by 7 feet...too many targets for the machine..so I would dig a bit...then run handfulls of dirt infront of the coil...sometimes I would pull 5 bullets out of a single handful of mud.

If all were within a 7x7 foot area, they were pretty good at shooting.......the only thing is, how many were firing there and at what distance?......
