IIRC - Merlin got 3 or 4 hits out of 10 shots. Gotta remember, huge target - 3' (or 4) x 6'. lol
Seems to me, the winner got 5 hits.

Last time out at our Black Water range, I managed to miss the 1,000 meter buffalo 3 times, using my 1876 Winchester Centennial. Go figure. 3 misses in a row! LOL
It was a bit windy - maybe 15 mph, but it was only 1,090 yards.
