If the close of the American un-civil was was 1866 that would be 44 years before this photo so very likely some of these men saw service in the war of northern aggression.

This was the cover photo used on the Single Shot Rifle Journal (2023 No.5 SepOct). I think there was also a little information about the photo, maybe the group, I don't remember.

Must have had greater dress code enforcements back then.  Wink

The rifle on the far left of the photo looks interesting.

The kid on the right looks like he’s holding a blunderbuss…
And the other guy on the right looks like he’s holding an invisible rifle😄

SSRJ September/October 2023 It appears to me that it's not the same photo, although the two must have been taken about the same time.

Do you suppose that the boy had the job of posting/retrieving the targets?

Thanks Schutzenbob for posting that.
If anyone has a copy of the issue for sale please let me know.
I went through the ASSRA site and can't figure out how to order, or even find if there are back issues for sale.
  
Thanks, Don

Is the rifle on the far left a Farrow?
