[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3216425, member: 10465"] Be careful [USER=40522]@lasher[/USER]. Brittle bones and all you know. Lots of us old guys just fall down sometimes. It sucks getting older. My complaint today is my vision. I [I]used [/I]to be a darned [I]good shot[/I]. Now, I'm just…[I]a shot[/I]. I [I]cannot [/I]get the front sight to focus no matter what. I might as well just glue a cotton ball on there. I guess I'll have to practice more on my point shooting, or give up and just go the hi-cap pray and spray route. When I go to an indoor range, I at least like to see the holes in the paper to get [I]some [/I]sort of feedback, but if the target is out more than 7 yds, I can't see them. Sure pisses me off. Back in my active duty Marine Corps days, I can remember lying there on the 500 yd line hitting bullseye's all day long using iron sights. I doubt I could even see a water buffalo at 500 yds now, much less hit the darn thing. Maybe a barn at 100...if it was a big barn and bright red. [/QUOTE]
