the best groups are at 5 or 600yds . Get out there the 100yd distance is way to close for the SMLE or No4 these are real men rifles.

Thats nice if you can see that far. I'd like to shoot longer distance but I struggle at 100 yards with an 8 inch black which in itself is bigger by a factor of 33% than it should be, so going further is not an option.
These days the target rifle fraternity tend to cheat a little bit.
We use 'Eagle Eye' inserts in our foresight, this gives us either a .3 or .5 diopter correction, this improves the foresight/tatget image greatly, the position either in front of the foresight or behind the foresight has also a great effect.
Add this to corrective glasses and you have a big improvement, the other option available is a variable diopter for the rearsight, this is a fixed power variable that allows you to correct for any eyesight defect, big problem is they won't allow you to use both, pity, between corrective lens and these two you could almost have a telescopic sight.
ah yes
target rifle is truly a level playing field and you can only win with skill and luck !!!!
jeez i can b.s!!!

Good to see you're alive and stirring Ned, when you go quiet I start to worry, I'm knee deep in Range construction, we are moving our range around the mountain a bit, it's only been there 111 years, but development will have it's way.
