Many good rifleman are neither good hunters or good snipers. A true good hunter just needs a change of targets to be a great sniper. Billy Dixon was maybe the best of both. At the battle of abobe wells he shot a medicine man off his horse at just under one mile with a 50 Caliber Sharps. This shot was not documented but during the same battle he shot another one off his horse at 1200 yards. This one was measured out after the battle. Here we are talking black powder No Scope. He was of course a buffalo hunter.
