Always remember Bum Phillips not wearing his cowboy hat in domed stadiums because it was considered disrespectful to wear a hat indoors!!! Lots has changed!!!!

wow - name caller... history showed that although many of the newer rifles were used by the North did indeed have grooves and were more advanced, the South relied on a lot Militia (hence the TN Volunteers) that had older non-grooved rifles. I don't mind being corrected or arguing... it's fun...

Try 200 yards - at best... the barrels of the guns were smooth bore and the black powder used was mediocre at best. I'm not 'banging' on your post - just facts. Snipers had the Wetworth? (sic) ... can't remember the name........... and they were good for over 500 yards. But the snipers had the...
