shooting 1865 carbine

[General Lee]

All,
Took my 1865 carbine to range last weekend 50 yard target (56-50 center fire conversion).  First shot my son on the spotting scope says "six o'clock" really? "six o'clock in the ten ring"  I have to say I am always amazed at the accuracy and resilience of these firearms after 150 + years.  Most remaining shots in the black.  I think I am taking this deer hunting next year
