Many years ago, and for years running, there was a big muzzleloading rifle match at King's Mountain, SC, in the park where the Battle of King's Mountain was fought and won by the American longriflemen. it was a three day event with offhand, cross-stick, and bench rest events. It was a big shoot with nice prizes and would draw shooters from all over the southeast in large numbers.
During the middle of one day's shooting a big bison wandered onto the range. Shooting stopped until it could be shooed from downrange. As I recall I was shooting a match with my big Leman half-stock .54 cal. rifle, sitting position. I wanted so badly to take a look at that bison through the notch and post sights on my big rifle, but didn't want to get chewed out by the range officer.
