Target
« on: June 09, 2009, 08:16:52 PM »


I'll keep it a short story!

Last Saturday (1st day of a 2 day shoot) I caught my front sight on the low bulkhead of the covering firing line and twisted it (the sight) all to H     .  Ticked me off severely.  Sat down on bench for a while.... >:(

Finally dug out the Chinese pliers and straightened the blade up best I could... Fired some offhand at 100 yds on the Haffner standing bear and she shot consistently 6 to 7 inches on 3 O'clock side.  Bent the blade more and got it close.

Used a solid straight edge and clamp to straighten said blade on the workbench and eyeballed it to middle of the flat... ::)

Yesterday took her to the range benched at 30 yds with shaders and put 8 shots in to same hole perfectly centered....  Happy camper again and Barbara moved back in with me ;) ;D

So, you tall guys or even short ones beware the low bulkheads...

If it were me I would take all my rilfes out there and knock the sights catawapus and use those same Chinese pliers to straighten them out. In fact I might start selling "how to" instructions for bending/correcting sights! ;D

Rodger,
I know how you feel
While shooting one day my baby slipped from my hands( I had some patch lube on my fingers) and she slid down the bench and the front site hit the concrete deck. I was sick and P!$$#9.
I sat down  got my self together,cleaned up and went home
Cleaned the gun and straightened out the front site.
I was lucky, went back out the next weekend and she was right were she was before the mishap.
I now keep a clean towel on the loading tableand make sure to wipe my hands good

Good shooting Roger- you're improving - hahahahahahahahaha - that's hysterical laughter (or maniacal) - tough act to follow! Looks like the old girl still shoots - after almost 50,000 shots through it.

Eric's got the drive-line on getting into a chunk shoot - too bad this type of accuracy only happens to us at the range when alone! Beautiful feeling when it happens - first hole just gets a mite bigger and bigger - barely.  Come competition, some of us don't do as well - oh well, practise, practise, practise.

One of these days, I'll run off some .454's for my longrifle and see what happens. Got a double cavity Ohaus in the mould bin, somewhere.

Way to go Roger!

Oh heck - that barrel is so accurate and Roger so steady (for an old @$#%), he can do that weak-arm, offhand.
