    Probably a Sharps or similar 50 calibre - assuming the range estimation of 1000 yards is reasonably correct.
    1000 yards (2/3 of a mile), a man would be a very small target at that distance - a lucky shot in my opinion.
    Wally no fluke I shoot like that all the time! Heavy barrel smooth bore slug BP rifles. I want one!

    As far as lucky shots go, I think it was the golfer, Gary Player that said, "The more I practice, the luckier I get." I have found this to be somewhat true... except when it comes to Lotto!
