THAT is some SUPER impressive shootin' you've done there Sir! Great job! Last edited by Old_Man; 07/13/20. Youthful enthusiasm is replaced by old age and treachery!

That's shooting barrel mounted sights at deer 100 yards away. With a flinchlick. Never did. You just convinced me that would be tilting at windmills. Like most gun mods..... Real results would be better if the time and money were spent, shooting the thing! Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
