Modern Day Buff Hunters
Duke, on vacation from writing for American Handgunner and Guns magazines along with Clint Smith (director of Thunder Ranch now in Oregon) posing next to the cow Duke had just taken 6 January, 2002 in Nebraska on one of Ted Turner's ranches. The rifle is a Shiloh Sharps in .45-70 and it has an RHO scope mounted on it. He couldn't get closer than 260 yards to fire! Wild, skittish critters out there on the plains! It was a 520g cast bullet over the holy black. Clint shot himself a FINE Bull, also with a Shiloh made Sharps rifle!
Congratulations Duke!
Above is the Iron Duke posing with his hard earned plaque. He beat 'em all at the Montana Black Powder Cartridge Rifle (B.P.C.R.) State Championship in September of 2000! And with a Lone Star Rolling Block no less!
Above is the Duke with his latest acquisition (28 March, 2009)! It doesn't go full auto but is still a blast! Congrats on your new JEEP!
