Only primitive original mil spec sights and positions allowed. 50 and 100 yd mostly offhand using my own design 800gr minie ball. It was a real hoot! Serious recoil, I don't know how our undersized ancestors withstood these things. They haven't got around to regulating black powder weapons with > 30in barrels yet! OT- Sherry K. has told me in no uncertain terms that carrying the M2 or 3 on long Harley trips would vibrate everything out of sync unless padded with an absurd amount of foam. I have so far logged over 10,000 miles with my older M cameras in a saddle bag just wrapped in a light jacket. So far no problems with the RF alignment or anything AFAIK. Very tough gear.
