Reproduced by the 1st United
States Sharpshooters, Company G (Click

Thank
you for your interest in our replica Civil War era stadia sight/rangefinder. We
are members of the North-South Skirmish Association (N-SSA) and American
Civil War Shooting Association (ACWSA).
Our team competes in live-fire target shooting competitions with Civil
War era black powder weapons. We
also participate in local Civil War reenactments, living histories, educational
programs and parades. Our
stadia sight is a reproduction of original stadia sights that were used during
the Civil War by sharpshooters, artillerymen and anyone else who needed to
quickly determine the range to a man-sized or cavalry-sized target. Stadia
were often given as prizes to the top shooters in a unit; brass for the company
champion and a silver stadia for the regimental champion.
We have endeavored to faithfully reproduce these stadia sights as closely
as possible to the originals. If you would like to order a stadia sight or if you have any questions please contact Dan Davis, - GreencoatCoG@aol.com, or call (815) 274-8408 (day) or (815) 723-0271
