My parents helped get this started. I saw a lot of names i recognize. Good to hear they're still doing this. I saw about 5 rifles my dad built in the hands of competitors there, little emotional for me. I'm surprised they allow scopes now, the first matches were all Soule Sights/open sights only. For those of you who don't know: These guns are 40/65, 45/100, and 45/120 caliber buffalo rifles. Most are highwalls, and you'll see a few low-walls as well. Most have a 400-440 grain bullet weight with some approaching 460. Most have a 14twist. Most will use paper patching in the load. Prone/sitting/offhand are allowed in the competition but the angle of elevation needed on the rifle means most people sit to shoot. These guns are worth around 1.4k US and some approaching as much as 7k-8k brand new. They don't make ammo for these guns have to buy your own brass and load your own. Most people have manually reshape their brass to fit the chamber. Loading for a single match takes about 4hours start to finish. If anyone is still reading this, my dad was Harold Forcum. That won't make a difference to 99% of you, but the few who attend these and read this will know who he is. ;) They probably have a shooting box, Soule Sight, or action/triggers from him. :)
@ THEREAL Thanks for sharing the information. I've always admired those rifles for decades, and was interested getting into black powder paper patch hand loading to brake the monotony of always hand loading smokeless modern cartridges; but other priorities always prevented me from getting one. 👍
From the UK, thank God , normal Americans. You do exist , an oasis of civility and decency amongst a world gone mad . You keep your Guns , methinks you are going to need them . As for the United Kingdom , I'm afraid this Septured Isle is now lost . I weep for my once proud nation.
Crazy really, I grew up reading about the smart, strong, fearless, Brits. Jump on a steamer with a double rifle, a head full of books, and off to darkest Africa, India or the deserts. Except for the ones like you it seems that stout heartedness has been breed right out. We could start an exchange program, you come to the states and we can round up some folks to send back to the UK.
Take heart brother… Speaking as a native born Texan, I can assure you that what you saw in the video is how most of us are here. We believe in God, family and country. The people you see in the so called “news” are the few and do not represent us. Americans and Englishmen have worked, fought and bled together in times just as, if not as dark as these. And we came out the other side victorious… And we will again. Keep the faith. God bless America and God save the Queen! 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

Went to a guys house once to fix his car. Found him in his shop with pieces of old rifles lying everywhere. He was an antique gun restoration gunsmith. He had this style and many other lying around in various stages of completion. He showed me the two guns he was working on. One was Tom Sellecks. One was Charlton Hestons. I was truly awed.
They should add a revolver competition as a side. After all, Quigley won with a 1860 Colt. He said he never had much use for one, not that he didn’t know how to use it!
there is a fast-draw sport that does the duel style: the CFDA (Cowboy Fast Draw Association), the difference is though that you're not shooting at each other (for obvious reasons), you're shooting at a steel plate target 15ft away (some places do bigger targets at longer ranges) and the targets have a timer attached to them so you get a time when you hit, if both of you hit your individual targets it's the faster time that wins, i highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the sport, my profile picture is me in a practice match
They should have a "cowboy action shoot" either before of after the Quigley shoot. Although some CAS shoots DO have a buffalo gun competition as one of the stages, as well as a pocket pistol stage! It would be fun to be able to shoot them all in one place! 😁✌️
@@overhail5081 I always wanted to do that but I'm afraid that I'll blow my leg off. I'm pretty fast but I've never fast drawn with anything but an empty single six.
@@fredjones7705 There's a lot of wisdom in your words. Many people have shot themselves while "practicing" fast-draw. I'm with you in so far as being afraid of shooting myself. It doesn't seem all that hard to do. BTW, I also own a single six convertible. I've had it for 40 years. Love the little bugger.
@@fredjones7705 completely understandable, but i realize i forgot to mention in my original comment that we're not using live ammo, we're shooting a piece of wax at propelled by a 410 shot shell primer at 750ft per second, it's still fast enough to seriously hurt someone, but a lot of the holsters we use have a steel plate deflector at the bottom of the holster to stop it from hitting your leg directly, but i have seen some just take that plate out of the holster through the leather, but by that point it's lost all power behind it, effective range of those wax bullets is like 25ft, and we take all the safety precautions possible to make it safe for everyone involved, but it's not everyone's cup of tea
Looks like fun. I served 20 years in the Marine Corps and two tours in Vietnam. In boot camp in 1965 we fired the M-14 at 200 meters off hand, 300 meters sitting and 500 meters from the prone position and I did pretty well. Then the Corps put me in Machine guns. Since the mid 90's my wife and I have been civil war re-enactors and have owned 3 different cannons which we live fire on occasion. Check out the Graylan, Michigan artillery shoot out.

Hey Gunny. Got a Mod 70 Win 30-06. 6x fixed Redfield scope.From a high position, 800yrd shots from a folded jacket for a rest. Consistent shots on a chest size target. And I'm not Carlos Hathcock. The enemies within need to be scared. Very scared !
DENNIS KJOLSO speaking, thank you for 20 years of service, I was in the Air Force 1963-1967, I was on the AF rifle team shooting the 22 and M - 1 Grand. I have my NRA master classification for both rifles in all 4 positions - ( back when I could see ) I am 78 now and my eye sight is not so good.. My longest M-1 match was at 1000 yards, iron sights - that was fun. I was also on our high school team - 1959 - 1961 - Everett, Wash. I was chosen to represent our base -Davis-Monthan AFB, TUCSON, ARIZ. in the 15th AF Natl Matches. 1967
Now that’s a life experience ! Love the family interaction .... great for the young folks to see and experience the skill set required. Much better than a young person shooting zombies on some no brainer video game on their phones. That’s the real thing. Semper Fi
so glad to see this my father was with the army national rifle team back in the 50s and 60s he would have loved this kind of match he shot m1 garands at 1000 yds

The only answer is the un-infiltrated US military. And soon they'll be needed. All the civilian legal options are corrupted, any progress is stonewalled.
The UA-cam overlords recommended this channel to me, and who am I to deny my master's bidding? I'm glad I accepted their suggestion. I've been living in western Montana since I retired from the Air Force 14 years ago, but I don't recall ever hearing of this match. I'll pass the word around. As an anecdote, in the late 1980s I had a shooting buddy in New England who complained to me that his special order Sharp's rifle from Shiloh had been delayed because they were busy building an extra long barreled version for Tom Selleck. He didn't understand what all the fuss was about until a year or so later when the movie "Quigley Down Under" came out. Anyway, he eventually got his rifle and enjoyed drilling holes at 600 yards with it (as far as our club range went).
Sometimes I feel like my beloved country is falling away into oblivion, but then I see things like this that give me hope. I'm an old US Navy sharpshooter and there's no way I can compete with these guys now but you can bet your ass... there was a time that I could. I'm so happy that you folks have combined a love of country with a respect/determination to understand a proper sight picture. Focus on the sight... not the target. God bless you all.
One bit of advice from someone who grew up in Great Falls: be ready for snow at any time of year. 4th of July, 1993, maybe 1992, we watched fireworks in a snow storm.
april 7th 2007 we got 4 inches of snow here in east teXas. the saturday b4 easter sunday. the latest recorded snowfall in east teXas since they started keeping records. our average temp is around 80 degrees. mother nature can throw a curve ball with the best of 'um.
This looks like loads of family fun. Kind of like an echo of the Mountain Men Rendezvous from the old days, except the whole family is involved for some camping adventure. Good fun. Kudos for Al Lee for hosting these events on his ranch.
Respect to the older Lady showing how to hold a rifle safely while talking to the interviewer With her Rifle clearly pointing Down Range 👍👍👍👍 Nice to see the Younger Kids getting involved to, there gonna keep the sport alive one day Remember Folks !!
My Aussie kids grew up on our deer farm watching the Quigly Downunder movie. We had a VCR tape player & they recorded it, and watched it over and over for years until eventually the vcr tape just wore out. It was like a cult movie in our house, with all 3 kids. The eldest lad has 11 Rifles & shotguns now that he’s grown, with 3 lads of his own. They are all taught respect and safety around firearms from a very young age. Always wanted to buy a Shilo Sharpes Quigly rifle in .45/110, but never could afford one. Had a Marlin lever gun in .45/70 US Govt & that kicked like a mule, so I imagine a .45/110 would be doubly so. Convincing our Police Firearms licensing branch to allow us to own and use one would probably be a beaurecratic nightmare, but might be possible. Justification might be “shooting Asiatic water buffalo” perhaps. Perhaps the Quigly shoot should actually be held here downunder some time (if Covid vaccine ever allows international travel again any time soon). The legalities red tape would be enormous. At the very least, maybe the US shoot should have a downunder contingent come to compete, it’s only half a planet away after all. 🇦🇺👍👍👍
G'day Ian. I'm in NSW and have a C Sharps 45-120 with a 4 digit serial number, purchased back in the early 80s. The recoil is heavy but manageable, being black powder it is more of persuasion in the rearward direction, 😉. There is a vid on my channel showing a mate of mine firing the 120. Cheers my friend, 👋👋👋 🇦🇺
I Saw "Quigley down under" for the first time a few weeks ago, and I thought to myself, well no one can't shoot that distance with an iron sight and yet here is the proof. Just amazing! Wonderful to see people do what they love and are passionate about. God bless you all
Not sure if you're a gun enthusiast at all, but if so there is a channel from an Aussie couple called Mark and Sam After Work; they have a few videos shooting open sight lever guns and such out to impressive distances (and scoped, modern rifles 1-2 miles). Not sure if it's your thing, just wanted to mention it!
@@rogerwood5228 yes i have seen it 😀👍 still kinda amazing with iron sights i think, my longest shot was with my 308 hunting rifle at 180 meters (and yes with a scope😂) I think its around 200 yards (if my math still serves me) to me, it felt like it was far away 😂
I was at the Quigley Father's Day weekend 2001. Mr. Lee and Buz Coker were my hosts for a week of Prairie Dog shooting. Ranchers there are the salt of the earth. Nicest folks I have ever met.

One Guy said something about not worrying about leaving their stuff laying around. I would not want to get caught stealing by that crowd. LOL It looks like great fun.
it doesn't take a whole lot to get started here I have seen shooters shooting H&R single shots in 45-70 and doing OK. You can use any single shot rifle in black powder calibers 38-55 and up I even have a friend that uses a .58 muzzle loader, his goal is to hit every target at least once (you get 8 shots per target). Good times good people!
I am 75 am make the old rifles as a hobby. I've been a gun plumber/stock maker for over 50 years, The old "Pumpkin Rollers" are a real hoot to shoot. I just wish I was younger and could attend this sort of shoot.
I really like Colter Johnson, his demeanor and personality. He'd be excellent on the big screen. He reminds me of "John Boy" (Richard Thomas) and also of Ricky Schroder. I'd love to see him in a movie.
Which one North America or South America? I went to a foreign country they asked me where I was from I said America and they said which one. So anybody reading this comment if you refer to North America call it USA then everybody will know where you're from not trying to be rude just saying
@@unknownuser2737 Far as I understand it, people in South America dont say "I'm from South America", because South America is made up of several countries, kina like the middle east. They would say "I'm from Brazil" Uruguay"" or other. North America however is one country, Canada is another, and Mexico to the south. U.S.A. is actually the Federal Corporation, not a country. That's why they use "of" instead of "is". (26 USC 3006 15a). Therefore America is the country, U.S. is the States that have united to enslave the population under the Federal criminal empire. A better question would be: What Lord?
@@yoshisaidit7250 secondly we are not enslaved in the United States of America. We live in the best country in the world. If I told you I lived in Nevada would you know where I was talking about or would you have to look it up.
@James Davis I believe that was the sole purpose of those guns at that time. They were designed to kill buffalo and large game. The modern auto loader just means that you get more than one chance if you miss the first time.
Actually, communist regimes have killed millions of people with the simple signature on a piece of paper. The simple fact is that more people are killed every year with automobiles than with firearms, but automobiles are not being threatened to be outlawed like firearms have been.
I never heard of this before, but if I lived anywhere near this, I'd be there every year. I'm surprised they don't set up something shorter range for kids
I bought an H&R / NEF Buffalo Classic just to sample sending lead down range like incoming mortar. 45-70, 90 and 110 are still serious fun and working up loads, its like a time warp. 💘 it!.
Today's Wild West; I just happened to come across your channel, 😀 and I loved watching this video. For many years I've been interested in shooting Black Powder firearms and, this looks to be the ideal sport. I don't have a Black Powder firearm and my medical issues would prevent me from joining in on the fun but, I'll continue to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing this great video with us.
the single shot sharps rifel is not a black powder gun it is a cartrige rifel I have a colection of black powder wepons including a 54 cal. long heavy rifel that was designed to kill a buffalo at 800 yds. and a short hawkin gun also 54 cal. love to shoot bp mussell loaders and cap and ball revolvers. Most are new copys but some are antiques. sorry to go on and on but shooting excites me CHEERS
Wonderful fun, ( husband speaking ) I was in the Air Force & stationed at Larson AFB, Moses Lake, Wash. a SAC base. I was on the rifle team and one match at Monroe, Wash. 1965, shooting the M-1 GRAND iron sights at 1000 yards, the target was 4 feet wide. One of my favorite matches.
I taught my 2 kids with a single shot .22 , same one I learned with, one learned right other just knows it all. As far as the rifle I have a single shot Remington. 22 that is wore out over use, with patient pending stamped on barrel
FYI: all of those old single shot reproductions are eligible to be used in Mississippis whitetail deer hunting "primitive weapons" season. I highly recommend it.
One of my favorite scenes is when they're walking to what ever they can find and she falls. He goes back to pick up the ammo belt and knife and starts to leave her because he's at the end of his rope. He then realizes he couldn't live with himself if he left her and she died. Goes back and picks her up and along with her and all his equipment trudges till the end of his strength. Tom did such a good job at that scene that I was exhausted watching it. I was able to meet Mr Selleck when he was making a scene in a building a friend of mine owned. It was in a TV movie Rubi Jean and Joe. He was a barrel of laughs. He would walk around apparently farting in front of all of us. He couldn't stand it anymore and told us he was put up to it as he pulled a fart noise machine from his pocket. Very nice man and a very nice memory.
My father and I travel 1000mi every June to this town either the week before or week after the Quigley event to shoot prairie dogs in that area. The Quigley range is impressive to see and it's absolutely beautiful country to visit. I will have to see about shooting in this event some day and spend a week before or after with my other passion there. Good to see people involving their families in this sport. It truly is an American legacy.
What makes this great is respect! Respect for what a gun is. Respect for what a gun can do. Respect for one another. So goes back to guns don't kill people. People kill people.
I have been doing this for 2-3 years and of them was 2020 so couldn’t do it. But the first time I shot in this, I was a small fry and I won third place, second time shooting Buffalo and when this video was made I got first place junior and I’m the top hundred.

America's forefathers recommended that every US citizen be armed, and that everyone be taught from youth how to defend themselves and their country with such tools that have secured freedom for all.
Everyone between the ages of 18 and 45 and ONLY if they belong to an organized and well-trained militia… You DID actually read the Second Amendment, yes?
@@NorthernChev Apparently you DID NOT read the Second Amendment. There is NOTHING to qualify the right to keep and bear arms AND THAT GOES FOR AGE ALSO. The "militia" as the Founding Fathers understood it, was constituted of all free men capable of bearing arms PERIOD. The right and responsibility to bear arms and be familiar with their use goes back in English History to the Anglo Saxon Fyrd and the concept in Germanic society of a NATION in arms rather than the Roman Profesional Army concept. Originally even Greek and Roman societies expected all citizens capable of bearing arms to serve in some capacity in the army. FURTHER, if you know anything about basic English language structure, the militia clause in the Second Amendment EXPLAINS THE "WHY" but in no sense limits the right to keep and bear arms. AND, if you were familiar with the writings of the Founding Fathers who created the document, THEY clearly viewed the right to keep and bear arms by the citizens as the inalienable right of all free men.
@@thomaszaccone3960 Incorrect. The definition of 'militia' as per the United States government in the Militia Act of 1862 requires that members MUST be of ages between 18 and 45 to qualify. You don't just yammer, yammer, yammer and repeat things you've heard others say. You must break down the entire Amendment by definition as per the enacted laws of the US. And, therefore the Second Amendment, which REQUIRES you to be a member of a well-regulated militia to equip and bear arms restricts that right to men between the ages of 18 and 45. ...next. EDIT: Unless, of course, you're NOT interpreting it STICTLY, as you should be.
@@NorthernChev You are speaking of the ORGANIZED militia. In the sense of the Founding Fathers, the ORIGINAL REFERENCE concerns the unorganized militia. Further, as I pointed OUT, the Militia is mentioned in the Second Amendment as a reason. It in no way restricts the right. The Militia Act did not amend the Constitution I believe in ORGINIAL INTENT and the Founding Fathers clearly intended for all free men to be ARMED.
@@thomaszaccone3960 It is true that the Militia Act did not amend the Constitution. But it, along with, 10 USC Ch. 12: THE MILITIA §246, DEFINES, without question, exactly how the Constitution elucidates the judicial meaning of the word, "militia". So, "Intent" all you want, but the letter of the Law is how it is defined. EDIT: I am aware that the 2A crazies bend the Law to make it fit their politics, but they are wrong, when interpreted strictly.
this competition been going on since early 90s in Montana, I thought I recalled an article where Tom visited the shoot early on but cant find any thing to prove it.
I showed my brothers the movie a couple of years ago and I was amazed they had never seen it before. Great movie.. now you may never have had much use for one but im more of a pistol guy. But maaaaan that looks like a lot of fun! I may have to do some other investing..
I know my 338 Lapua shines with it's high end scope but this is real marksmanship. Nothing like this challenge up here in North Western BC Canada eh. I may have to rectify that situation eh. My 50/90 hasn't been exercised in a very long time.

I am a trained sniper from the Canadian Navy. I preferred the 413 Canadian. An oddball wildcat from back in the early 70's. It fell from favor due to its bore but would stand along side the 338 Winches
Im old.. pretty good eyes.. a good shot.. but you are correct.. my eyes aren't as good as a young person.. and I have a little shake in my hand.. like most people that have reached 60... I can still shoot pretty good.. but I would not want to take on a 25yr old sharp shooter.
Wow, I never realized anything like this existed. I might have just added it to my bucket list. Of course I can't see good enough anymore to seriously compete but it would be fun to do anyway. I'm only 1100 miles away.
Curious if anyone has actually pulled off a "true" Quigley shot - standing, holding up a 36" barreled heavy rifle, at a distance guessed to be 600-800 yards. Or the 6 holes at 900 yards target shoot. Not trying to diminish any of the shooters talent by any means - just curious.
Well, ask yourself this; could anyone, with any firearm made past or present, consistently hit a bucket from a standing position at 600 - 800 yards? My guess would be 'no'.
@@91CavGT5 Seriously?? Who needs a sniper rifle if you can hit a bucket sized target, from a standing position, at 1000; with a pistol? Frankly, I doubt you could even see a bucket at 1000 yards.
To shoot any target from that distance & further is a feat that I admire. If you respect & maintain your weapon, have a healthy competitive nature you will enjoy a good shoot, at a target or hunting game. One shot one kill is always the objective & the most humane way to hunt game. Be carful out there & always be safe! MAGA!
An 1860 Colt was (and is) a black powder cap and ball percussion revolver. No metal cartridges.If I remember the movie, he was using an 1873 Peacemaker ( a metallic cartridge revolver) in that scene.
I'm surprised at how many shooters were resting their barrel on the shooting sticks instead of the for arm. You should never have anything touching the barrel when shooting.
Wholeheartedly agree. How about a competition where you shoot standing, offhand. No scopes of the day.. Just pull it out of a scabbard and wait for fast running horse and a rider to stop the bucket. Good family fun. But come on, dont do Quigley an insult !
I am mostly a bower, but, my H&R 12ga and 20ga along with my Remington 501 do see some use where appropriate. I prefer the up close and personal to the long range... each has its place
Looked like an awesome time. Quigley Down Under is one of my favorite movies.

Prone/sitting/offhand are allowed in the competition but the angle of elevation needed on the rifle means most people sit to shoot.
These guns are worth around 1.4k US and some approaching as much as 7k-8k brand new.

@@fredjones7705 There's a lot of wisdom in your words. Many people have shot themselves while "practicing" fast-draw. I'm with you in so far as being afraid of shooting myself. It doesn't seem all that hard to do. BTW, I also own a single six convertible. I've had it for 40 years. Love the little bugger.
@@fredjones7705 completely understandable, but i realize i forgot to mention in my original comment that we're not using live ammo, we're shooting a piece of wax at propelled by a 410 shot shell primer at 750ft per second, it's still fast enough to seriously hurt someone, but a lot of the holsters we use have a steel plate deflector at the bottom of the holster to stop it from hitting your leg directly, but i have seen some just take that plate out of the holster through the leather, but by that point it's lost all power behind it, effective range of those wax bullets is like 25ft, and we take all the safety precautions possible to make it safe for everyone involved, but it's not everyone's cup of tea
My Dad was a huge Sharps collector. He would have enjoyed going to this. He also loved Montana, so , double bonus. Nice video, thanks.
Wow there’s a place adults can be adults and teach that level of responsibility to their children! Bravo!
Looks like fun. I served 20 years in the Marine Corps and two tours in Vietnam. In boot camp in 1965 we fired the M-14 at 200 meters off hand, 300 meters sitting and 500 meters from the prone position and I did pretty well. Then the Corps put me in Machine guns.
Since the mid 90's my wife and I have been civil war re-enactors and have owned 3 different cannons which we live fire on occasion. Check out the Graylan, Michigan artillery shoot out.

Hey Gunny. Got a Mod 70 Win 30-06. 6x fixed Redfield scope.From a high position, 800yrd shots from a folded jacket for a rest. Consistent shots on a chest size target. And I'm not Carlos Hathcock. The enemies within need to be scared. Very scared !
DENNIS KJOLSO speaking, thank you for 20 years of service, I was in the Air Force 1963-1967, I was on the AF rifle team shooting
the 22 and M - 1 Grand. I have my NRA master classification for both rifles in all 4 positions - ( back when I could see ) I am 78 now
and my eye sight is not so good.. My longest M-1 match was at 1000 yards, iron sights - that was fun. I was also on our high school
team - 1959 - 1961 - Everett, Wash. I was chosen to represent our base -Davis-Monthan AFB, TUCSON, ARIZ. in the 15th AF Natl Matches. 1967
Now that’s a life experience ! Love the family interaction .... great for the young folks to see and experience the skill set required. Much better than a young person shooting zombies on some no brainer video game on their phones.
That’s the real thing.
Semper Fi
Semper Fi, brother.
so glad to see this my father was with the army national rifle team back in the 50s and 60s he would have loved this kind of match he shot m1 garands at 1000 yds

Need one of these to go with it
That’s awesome

What a wonderful event! Only in America, but our freedom is under siege. Never give up and never give in!
Just sent a lot of Afghans there. They will vote Democratic.
Only in America? Not really. Proudly shooting my Sharps in Europe too.and not just me.
@@joelpierce3940 They wont be immigrating any Afghans into Montana, unless you're talking about Afghan blankets.. That's about the only Afghans you will see around here.. lol ✌♥️🇺🇸

The only answer is the un-infiltrated US military. And soon they'll be needed. All the civilian legal options are corrupted, any progress is stonewalled.
The UA-cam overlords recommended this channel to me, and who am I to deny my master's bidding? I'm glad I accepted their suggestion. I've been living in western Montana since I retired from the Air Force 14 years ago, but I don't recall ever hearing of this match. I'll pass the word around. As an anecdote, in the late 1980s I had a shooting buddy in New England who complained to me that his special order Sharp's rifle from Shiloh had been delayed because they were busy building an extra long barreled version for Tom Selleck. He didn't understand what all the fuss was about until a year or so later when the movie "Quigley Down Under" came out. Anyway, he eventually got his rifle and enjoyed drilling holes at 600 yards with it (as far as our club range went).
I had not heard of this event. Thank you for posting the video.
Sometimes I feel like my beloved country is falling away into oblivion, but then I see things like this that give me hope. I'm an old US Navy sharpshooter and there's no way I can compete with these guys now but you can bet your ass... there was a time that I could. I'm so happy that you folks have combined a love of country with a respect/determination to understand a proper sight picture. Focus on the sight... not the target. God bless you all.
Well God bless you Al for hosting this wonderful event!
Sounds like fun! ~ Just look at what you've started, Selleck! Bravo, Quigley!
One bit of advice from someone who grew up in Great Falls: be ready for snow at any time of year. 4th of July, 1993, maybe 1992, we watched fireworks in a snow storm.
I always have long johns with me, no matter what month it is in Montana. There was snow last week, end of August.
Snow at Holter Lake on July 4th in about 80_81? AF on Malmstrom! Red Barn still rock in I hope!
Here in n. Michigan, the ONLY day we guarantee no snow… is July 4th!
But on the flip side, once I had a picnic on my birthday in Roundup - in early December!
april 7th 2007 we got 4 inches of snow here in east teXas. the saturday b4 easter sunday. the latest recorded snowfall in east teXas since they started keeping records. our average temp is around 80 degrees. mother nature can throw a curve ball with the best of 'um.
This looks like loads of family fun. Kind of like an echo of the Mountain Men Rendezvous from the old days, except the whole family is involved for some camping adventure. Good fun.
Kudos for Al Lee for hosting these events on his ranch.
I saw the Tom Seleck movie. I loved it. I would love to go and watch, and experience the competition
Video Very Beautiful.
I love pistol and Rifle ❤
Respect to the older Lady showing how to hold a rifle safely while talking to the interviewer With her Rifle clearly pointing Down Range 👍👍👍👍
Nice to see the Younger Kids getting involved to, there gonna keep the sport alive one day Remember Folks !!

How fun! I hope this tradition never ends.
Looks like so much fun!! Great family tradition for sure
My Aussie kids grew up on our deer farm watching the Quigly Downunder movie. We had a VCR tape player & they recorded it, and watched it over and over for years until eventually the vcr tape just wore out.
It was like a cult movie in our house, with all 3 kids. The eldest lad has 11 Rifles & shotguns now that he’s grown, with 3 lads of his own.
They are all taught respect and safety around firearms from a very young age.
Always wanted to buy a Shilo Sharpes Quigly rifle in .45/110, but never could afford one.
Had a Marlin lever gun in .45/70 US Govt & that kicked like a mule, so I imagine a .45/110 would be doubly so.
Convincing our Police Firearms licensing branch to allow us to own and use one would probably be a beaurecratic nightmare, but might be possible.
Justification might be “shooting Asiatic water buffalo” perhaps.
Perhaps the Quigly shoot should actually be held here downunder some time (if Covid vaccine ever allows international travel again any time soon).
The legalities red tape would be enormous.
At the very least, maybe the US shoot should have a downunder contingent come to compete, it’s only half a planet away after all.

G'day Ian. I'm in NSW and have a C Sharps 45-120 with a 4 digit serial number, purchased back in the early 80s. The recoil is heavy but manageable, being black powder it is more of persuasion in the rearward direction, 😉. There is a vid on my channel showing a mate of mine firing the 120.

I'm glad they're showing the little one says learning how to shoot for long distance we're going to have a lot of Sergeant York and Daniel Boone's
I Saw "Quigley down under" for the first time a few weeks ago, and I thought to myself, well no one can't shoot that distance with an iron sight and yet here is the proof. Just amazing! Wonderful to see people do what they love and are passionate about. God bless you all
Not sure if you're a gun enthusiast at all, but if so there is a channel from an Aussie couple called Mark and Sam After Work; they have a few videos shooting open sight lever guns and such out to impressive distances (and scoped, modern rifles 1-2 miles). Not sure if it's your thing, just wanted to mention it!
@@longgone13 Cool, I would like to check it out, Thanks man 😁👍
I think I saw a video where they calculated the distance Quigley shot that bucket to be about 780 yards. Difficult, but not undoable.
@@rogerwood5228 yes i have seen it 😀👍 still kinda amazing with iron sights i think, my longest shot was with my 308 hunting rifle at 180 meters (and yes with a scope😂) I think its around 200 yards (if my math still serves me) to me, it felt like it was far away 😂
This is straight up good quality stuff. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
I was at the Quigley Father's Day weekend 2001. Mr. Lee and Buz Coker were my hosts for a week of Prairie Dog shooting. Ranchers there are the salt of the earth. Nicest folks I have ever met.

it doesn't take a whole lot to get started here I have seen shooters shooting H&R single shots in 45-70 and doing OK. You can use any single shot rifle in black powder calibers 38-55 and up I even have a friend that uses a .58 muzzle loader, his goal is to hit every target at least once (you get 8 shots per target). Good times good people!

What the hell are you doing with a gun in AUSTRALIA? Ya wanna go to PRISON?
I am 75 am make the old rifles as a hobby. I've been a gun plumber/stock maker for over 50 years, The old "Pumpkin Rollers" are a real hoot to shoot. I just wish I was younger and could attend this sort of shoot.
I am 84 and will go to shoot this year ... with my girl friend.
I really like Colter Johnson, his demeanor and personality. He'd be excellent on the big screen. He reminds me of "John Boy" (Richard Thomas) and also of Ricky Schroder. I'd love to see him in a movie.
This is now on my list of events to attend.

Which one North America or South America? I went to a foreign country they asked me where I was from I said America and they said which one. So anybody reading this comment if you refer to North America call it USA then everybody will know where you're from not trying to be rude just saying
@@unknownuser2737
Far as I understand it, people in South America dont say "I'm from South America", because South America is made up of several countries, kina like the middle east. They would say "I'm from Brazil" Uruguay"" or other.
North America however is one country, Canada is another, and Mexico to the south. U.S.A. is actually the Federal Corporation, not a country. That's why they use "of" instead of "is". (26 USC 3006 15a). Therefore America is the country, U.S. is the States that have united to enslave the population under the Federal criminal empire.
A better question would be: What Lord?
@@yoshisaidit7250 South America is made of 14 countries. And what do you mean by what Lord?

Greetings from Germany.
If guns killed people, shooting competitions would be traumatic events. No trauma there. All I saw was a bunch of happy people gathered to have fun.
No Liberals either, or sob sister gun grabbers.
@James Davis … just like everything else from a pencil to a motor vehicle… and everything in between…
@James Davis I believe that was the sole purpose of those guns at that time. They were designed to kill buffalo and large game. The modern auto loader just means that you get more than one chance if you miss the first time.
@James Davis * You mean wrong hands. And by the way , our military back in the 1800's used single shot rifles.
Actually, communist regimes have killed millions of people with the simple signature on a piece of paper. The simple fact is that more people are killed every year with automobiles than with firearms, but automobiles are not being threatened to be outlawed like firearms have been.
Congratulations. I Love U.S.A. ❤
Awesome . I love it ! I always desired to buy a Sharps or clone .
The little girl with the ear muffs stole my heart.
I never heard of this before, but if I lived anywhere near this, I'd be there every year. I'm surprised they don't set up something shorter range for kids
I bought an H&R / NEF Buffalo Classic just to sample sending lead down range like incoming mortar.
45-70, 90 and 110 are still serious fun and working up loads, its like a time warp. 💘 it!.
Today's Wild West; I just happened to come across your channel, 😀 and I loved watching this video. For many years I've been interested in shooting Black Powder firearms and, this looks to be the ideal sport. I don't have a Black Powder firearm and my medical issues would prevent me from joining in on the fun but, I'll continue to watch your videos.
Thanks for sharing this great video with us.
the single shot sharps rifel is not a black powder gun it is a cartrige rifel
I have a colection of black powder wepons including a 54 cal. long heavy rifel that was designed to kill a buffalo at 800 yds. and a short hawkin gun also 54 cal. love to shoot bp mussell loaders and cap and ball revolvers.

Love this. What an awesome event.
I'm agree with u
Wonderful fun, ( husband speaking ) I was in the Air Force & stationed at Larson AFB, Moses Lake, Wash. a SAC base. I was on the rifle team
and one match at Monroe, Wash. 1965, shooting the M-1 GRAND iron sights at 1000 yards, the target was 4 feet wide. One of my favorite matches.
I taught my 2 kids with a single shot .22 , same one I learned with, one learned right other just knows it all. As far as the rifle I have a single shot Remington. 22 that is wore out over use, with patient pending stamped on barrel
Mine was a bow. Then right to a 12 gauge. my 16 i never got to use lol fiering pin was broke so we just got our mony back
I have the Remington bolt action 22 my father taught me with. Still very accurate!
I am a new subscriber and I like this video.
FYI: all of those old single shot reproductions are eligible to be used in Mississippis whitetail deer hunting "primitive weapons" season.
I highly recommend it.
A reproduction gun is the identical gun as the originals made to the same specs but usually with better materials.Ergo, BETTER than the originals.
Not knocking your comment..but think 400 grains be a bit overkill for a whitetail. But then again..pick em off at 1000 be ok competition.
Outstanding, congratulations
Fun stuff... Montana is on my bucket list already... Best thing i liked about Quigley's character was his manners and his morals...
One of my favorite scenes is when they're walking to what ever they can find and she falls. He goes back to pick up the ammo belt and knife and starts to leave her because he's at the end of his rope. He then realizes he couldn't live with himself if he left her and she died. Goes back and picks her up and along with her and all his equipment trudges till the end of his strength. Tom did such a good job at that scene that I was exhausted watching it. I was able to meet Mr Selleck when he was making a scene in a building a friend of mine owned. It was in a TV movie Rubi Jean and Joe. He was a barrel of laughs. He would walk around apparently farting in front of all of us. He couldn't stand it anymore and told us he was put up to it as he pulled a fart noise machine from his pocket. Very nice man and a very nice memory.
Looks great...cheers from Australia
I've been to Big Timber. And I met some good people there. Cowboy hats and dusters are not costumes, just everyday dress.
Looks like alot of fun , have a bucket list trip !!
And here we are, Quigley weekend once again.
My father and I travel 1000mi every June to this town either the week before or week after the Quigley event to shoot prairie dogs in that area. The Quigley range is impressive to see and it's absolutely beautiful country to visit. I will have to see about shooting in this event some day and spend a week before or after with my other passion there. Good to see people involving their families in this sport. It truly is an American legacy.
Tom Selleck should attend. I'm he's a gun rights spokesman anyway....
Yes - that is a great idea! Somebody get in touch Tom and make this happen!
Love this old school rifles. Sharps , Remington, Winchester. All American ingenuity.
I love that movie. I wish I knew about this event before now. Looks fun.
What makes this great is respect!
Respect for what a gun is.
Respect for what a gun can do.
Respect for one another.
So goes back to guns don't kill people.
People kill people.

I have been doing this for 2-3 years and of them was 2020 so couldn’t do it. But the first time I shot in this, I was a small fry and I won third place, second time shooting Buffalo and when this video was made I got first place junior and I’m the top hundred.

America's forefathers recommended that every US citizen be armed, and that everyone be taught from youth how to defend themselves and their country with such tools that have secured freedom for all.
Everyone between the ages of 18 and 45 and ONLY if they belong to an organized and well-trained militia… You DID actually read the Second Amendment, yes?
@@NorthernChev Apparently you DID NOT read the Second Amendment. There is NOTHING to qualify the right to keep and bear arms AND THAT GOES FOR AGE ALSO. The "militia" as the Founding Fathers understood it, was constituted of all free men capable of bearing arms PERIOD. The right and responsibility to bear arms and be familiar with their use goes back in English History to the Anglo Saxon Fyrd and the concept in Germanic society of a NATION in arms
rather than the Roman Profesional Army concept. Originally even Greek and Roman societies expected all citizens capable of bearing arms to serve in some capacity in the army.
FURTHER, if you know anything about basic English language structure, the militia clause in the Second Amendment EXPLAINS THE "WHY" but in no sense limits the right to keep and bear arms. AND, if you were familiar with the writings of the Founding Fathers who created the document, THEY clearly viewed the right to keep and bear arms by the citizens as the inalienable right of all free men.
@@thomaszaccone3960 Incorrect. The definition of 'militia' as per the United States government in the Militia Act of 1862 requires that members MUST be of ages between 18 and 45 to qualify. You don't just yammer, yammer, yammer and repeat things you've heard others say. You must break down the entire Amendment by definition as per the enacted laws of the US. And, therefore the Second Amendment, which REQUIRES you to be a member of a well-regulated militia to equip and bear arms restricts that right to men between the ages of 18 and 45. ...next. EDIT: Unless, of course, you're NOT interpreting it STICTLY, as you should be.
@@NorthernChev You are speaking of the ORGANIZED militia. In the sense of the Founding Fathers, the ORIGINAL REFERENCE concerns the unorganized militia. Further, as I pointed OUT, the Militia is mentioned in the Second Amendment as a reason. It in no way restricts the right. The Militia Act did not amend the Constitution
I believe in ORGINIAL INTENT and the Founding Fathers clearly intended for all free men to be ARMED.
@@thomaszaccone3960 It is true that the Militia Act did not amend the Constitution. But it, along with, 10 USC Ch. 12: THE MILITIA §246, DEFINES, without question, exactly how the Constitution elucidates the judicial meaning of the word, "militia". So, "Intent" all you want, but the letter of the Law is how it is defined. EDIT: I am aware that the 2A crazies bend the Law to make it fit their politics, but they are wrong, when interpreted strictly.
I am really enjoying your post's, thanks 😊📯
Glad you like them!
This is amazing! I never heard of this competition.. Did does Tom Selleck ever show up?
Same. Heck I live in ND and have never heard of it.
this competition been going on since early 90s in Montana, I thought I recalled an article where Tom visited the shoot early on but cant find any thing to prove it.
I showed my brothers the movie a couple of years ago and I was amazed they had never seen it before. Great movie.. now you may never have had much use for one but im more of a pistol guy. But maaaaan that looks like a lot of fun! I may have to do some other investing..
Looks like a great time.
It's cool! As is Montana! You should go!
Great show, Keep up the good work,God Bless America
I know my 338 Lapua shines with it's high end scope but this is real marksmanship. Nothing like this challenge up here in North Western BC Canada eh. I may have to rectify that situation eh. My 50/90 hasn't been exercised in a very long time.

All things being equal, young eyes will out shoot old eyes, every time!
Mmhhj maybe
maybe not lol
Im old.. pretty good eyes.. a good shot.. but you are correct.. my eyes aren't as good as a young person.. and I have a little shake in my hand.. like most people that have reached 60... I can still shoot pretty good.. but I would not want to take on a 25yr old sharp shooter.
Wow, I never realized anything like this existed. I might have just added it to my bucket list. Of course I can't see good enough anymore to seriously compete but it would be fun to do anyway. I'm only 1100 miles away.
Curious if anyone has actually pulled off a "true" Quigley shot - standing, holding up a 36" barreled heavy rifle, at a distance guessed to be 600-800 yards. Or the 6 holes at 900 yards target shoot. Not trying to diminish any of the shooters talent by any means - just curious.
I'm not sure the movie shots are actually realistic or reproducible.
Well, ask yourself this; could anyone, with any firearm made past or present, consistently hit a bucket from a standing position at 600 - 800 yards? My guess would be 'no'.
Yes, there are people that can make those shots. Jerry Miculek(sp?) has made 1,000 yard shots with a free hand pistol.
@@91CavGT5 Seriously?? Who needs a sniper rifle if you can hit a bucket sized target, from a standing position, at 1000; with a pistol? Frankly, I doubt you could even see a bucket at 1000 yards.
@@haroldgodwinson832 here you go. m.ua-cam.com/video/jJ3XwizTqDw/v-deo.html

To shoot any target from that distance & further is a feat that I admire. If you respect & maintain your weapon, have a healthy competitive nature you will enjoy a good shoot, at a target or hunting game. One shot one kill is always the objective & the most humane way to hunt game. Be carful out there & always be safe! MAGA!
A pleasure to watch.
Thanks for coming out you're all disqualified, Quigley was standing
LOL, good one!
I'm watching movie an bucket shot right now! What timing? 782 yes standing!
We need more of this and less of everything else of today’s tasteless crap
An 1860 Colt was (and is) a black powder cap and ball percussion revolver. No metal cartridges.If I remember the movie, he was using an 1873 Peacemaker ( a metallic cartridge revolver) in that scene.
What a great event! I wonder, has Tom Selleck ever been invited to appear?
This is AWESOME!!!!!!
I'm surprised at how many shooters were resting their barrel on the shooting sticks instead of the for arm. You should never have anything touching the barrel when shooting.
Wholeheartedly agree. How about a competition where you shoot standing, offhand. No scopes of the day.. Just pull it out of a scabbard and wait for fast running horse and a rider to stop the bucket. Good family fun. But come on, dont do Quigley an insult !
Fantastic, keep it going!
Now that's real shootin', they way grandpa taught me; one round at a time, real careful.
I am mostly a bower, but, my H&R 12ga and 20ga along with my Remington 501 do see some use where appropriate. I prefer the up close and personal to the long range... each has its place
Great time had by all! Thanks for sharing the video.
