Sighting in smoothbore

[Hungry Horse]

 Out here you can't have a rear sight on a smoothbore musket you intend to shoot in competition. So adding a rear sigh is not an option.

I don't shoot competition so guess that's why I didn't get it.  Gotcha now.

[Scott Bumpus]

I was waiting patiently.

Wow!  With that kind of an attitude I don't think I would rely on your info anyway.  I guess your opinion is the only one that matters...

[JB2]

well, this has certainly been entertaining, but hopefully closed soon (hint hint)

By all means- if not shooting competition, a rear sight, properly filed in will increase your accuracy potential and make sighting much easier.

Start by using the Oct/round transition as your rear aiming point and move your eye rearward or forward as necessary to get the proper elevation.  Once you find it, inlay a small silver arrow at the proper aiming point.

  PM me Tom, I want to learn this method.  My SB has a double band.

When I want to ring that gong at the end of our trail (109 yds) I see my entire front sight plus the same amount of barrel above the wedding band at the transition.  The tip of the front sight is in the centre of the disc target.  Follow through is critical.
