Q. If Whitey rode 35 mph for 46 seconds, how many yards away did he place the bucket? A. 782 yards. 1 mile = 1,760 yards. 35 mph = 61,600 yards per hour. 61,600 yards per hour = 1,026 yards per minute. 1,026 yards per minute = 17 yards per second. 17 yards per second x 46 seconds = 782 yards. Quigley made 3 shots (out of 3) at 782 yards while standing. Sharps large bore single shot rifle, lever-action breach loader, custom barrel length of 34“, converted to use custom 45 cal. 110-grain cartridges w/ 540-grain paper-patched bullets, fitted with double-set triggers & vernier sight marked up to 1,200 yards.
