Well, (okay, pun warning) pulled the trigger and ordered a Springfield Trapdoor Rifle, a Pederosoli. I will try and remember for long distance you have to hit that first target 3 times before moving to the next one. Seriously, the first shot dispatched it, the other 2 would have been total overkill.
I did not take a lot of pics, but have some of the area with no people. (first 2 had a bit of manipulation to hide as much 21st century as I could.
