I was there in the late 90's....
During a PD trip, to the Texas high plains, we made a slight detour to Adobe Walls.
Interesting place, although a bit stark. You do get a real grasp of the terrain and distances involved.
There's a monument......and I've some old pictures, somewhere, I took before leaving.

Beautiful! Precision Shooting Magazine ran an article on the recreation of Billy Dixon's famous shot. Well worth the read if you can source the article. -Al
For those interested, probably the best book ever written about the elimination of the buffalo is “ The Great Buffalo Hunt” by Wayne Gard, 1951. Long out of print but usually easy to get in paperback.
For some time I shot a C Sharps 45-100-550, shot 1F under a 500 grain Patched slug……lotsa smoke.
Nice rig Todd.

I have a copy of the autobiography of Billy Dixon. What is really surprising is how little space the Billy Dixon shot with his Sharps takes up in the book. About a paragraph is all.
