Took it out to the range today, and learned several things............
Didn't take long to get it lined up. Did quite well (for me) on a 12" target with a red center and
black background. But when shooting the targets from the summer contest, it all went to shit.
Tried both the small and big hole sights, seemed to do a little better with small hole. What did seem
to help was moving my cheek hold forward, even just a little helped me focus the top of the front
sight post. The real problem was I couldn't see the bulls eye of the smaller white targets, it all just
seemed to be one color.....white. On the same target board I had put the red and black target and
5 targets from the summer shoot, none of them were more than 10" from each other. The white
targets I was hitting all over the place, so I would take another shot at the red target and hit it
in the 6" ring of that one. So obviously I need a colored bulls eye on a dark background and need
to make the top of the sight post a bright color. Now I understand why the previous post says
many people do better with red fiber optic front post. Am going to look into that.
You can see the obvious difference between the colored and white targets, and those were the best
2 of the white targets....
I think with the right targets and a colored front sight post, I could work my way up to being a
mediocre marksman............
