This quote appears on the Appleseed "Redcoat" target:
"The famed American Rifleman from the Revolutionary War could make a head shot at 250 yards with a muzzle loading rifle and basic iron sights."
Really? I'm sorry but I don't believe this, at least not all of it. I'm sure it probably happened on occasion, but I do not believe for one second that a rifleman, even a fully trained one, could consistently make 250 yard head shots using late 18th century muzzle loading rifles.
