The long range shot Quigley made in the movie would be virtually impossible in reality given the distance of 1,200 yards minimum to the target; his unsteady standing off-hand position; the fact that he was using primitive open sights with no magnification; the target would have appeared as nothing more than a blurred speck at that distance; the poor long range ballistics of the calibre he used; and the significant cross breeze would affect the bullet. Pure fantasy and BS by Hollywood.

@mbs357 The typical American cowboy's wages in the mid to late 1800's was $30-40 per month which equates to $360-480 per year, so $50 represented a significant amount of money for a hard working cowboy on the range.

@goatboyful Fifty dollars was a ton of money back then. Probably around six to twelve months wages.

@goatboyful $50 would have been a pretty amount of money for some back then, especially if they were down and out.

Ah. Thanks for giving me the info. History always was a favorite subject of mine in school.

those indians were grouped up. His chances were increased, all he had to get right was elevation. He had a wide target along his front.
"Are you quite certain, Mr. Quigley, that you wouldn't want the bucket a bit closer?"
"Are you quite certain you don't want this rifle barrel hard across your face if you open your mouth again while I'm aiming?"

it's just a movie you blokes, not a bloody documentary. iff you want to talk about BS in this flick, why not the fact the man comes all the way from the US to Western Australia for $50? now that's Hollywood bullshit!
