A Smelly Day is Always a Good Day!

[Ovidio]

Yesterday I took out the Peashooter (trainer) and my No. 1.
Had fun…
At 100 metres, the Peashooter was difficult. I had the impression that the ammo had a great differential in speed from round to round. While at 50 it was ok, at 100…
Still… Only two guys with me at the range. All with milsurps. My people.
I left after one 50 box of .22LR and 15 rounds of .303. I felt happy and satisfied, so I just packed my stuff and kept chatting for a while.
Perfect day.
At home, two kiddos positive, one in doubt, wifey with headache but negative. I’m 100%.

Not too bad for groups Ovidio, far better than I can do with iron sights these days.

Eyes have become an issue in the past 18 months.
I’m slowly recovering my accuracy. But there is still a long way to go.
The good thing is that I’m an obstinate guy.

Three kids positive. Youngsters beat parents 3-0. For now…

Great stuff!!


I'm staring down the barrel of incipient cataracts and am facing a choice: I've been nearsighted all my life and am used to it but hate the dead spots in my progressive lenses that are exactly what I look through when I have a proper cheek weld. When you have your lenses replaced in cataract surgery you can choose your correction but are usually limited to one problem or another - either nearsightedness or farsightedness, due to presbyopia (old eyes). Farsightedness would allow an easier shift between the front sight and the target but would be entirely a new world to me, especially because it work force me to use glasses for near focus.

I'll have to decide which way to go!

Seems like the time to change to optics has come?

[browningautorifle]

change to optics

I have scopes on everything now and shoot off sandbags as well. Much more satisfying then when I was throwing bullets into the backstop.

Daan, I'll try to get back to acceptable results with iron sights (takes a lot of concentration right now), but in the meantime, for my birthday in March I'll get the K98 I posted a couple months ago and put an optic to my current Yugo-captured one.
Just in case...

Has anyone here tried the eyepal patch you place on your shooting eye safety glass it is supposed to help your eye sharpen up all the detail I have them here but have not tried them on my 303's using the open sights for which they are designed.

I've been using it for years now. 6 years.
I have both the one for handguns and the one for rifles.
They work very well.
I didn't mind paying a disproportionate (if I'm not wrong 25€) amount of money for a great idea.
Try them!
