Dean, I still haven't picked up the Redhawk [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Short on cash since I'm trying to do the self-employed thing.
Paul, those sure do look good! I think you have my mailing address [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Overnight me a few wrapped in dry ice [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I'm off for the range. (friggin ammo $1.00 PER shot...)
Hey RUNNR, last time I went shooting (Glock & revolve), I found my shot groupings were pulling to the right, ideas on what was going on and suggestions for correcting that?

Adjust your dope.
p.s. I still do not see the challenge in hunting an animal that grazes? Hunting deer is like hunting a fast moving cow??? I am calling PETA!

With a rifle from 200 yds, I would have to agree with you, but that's not really "hunting". That's more like "spotting" and then shootin' them. Now really hunting them using a compound bow and a tree stand is entirely different. Very challenging and exciting, but you'd have had to sit motionless 15 feet over the head of a big buck to understand. It's just that hunter instinct mentality; knowing your about to kill. Adrenalin pumping but having to remain completely still and quiet while drawing the bow and waiting for the deer to turn just enough to get the kill shot in the chest cavity. Damn, I miss it. Killed my last deer over 10 years ago. Have chosen a path in my life where spending 3-4 hours every night in the woods after work is no longer an option.

How often do you shoot? Assuming you are right handed, are you pulling the trigger with the crook of your finger or the pad?

You've killed many, many deer and this is how you know it to be so easy?
And just so you know there's no harm meant by my question I'll give you a free correction. Deer don't graze, they browse and forage. Cattle graze.
See? Now you really ARE an expert.
ANIMAL MURDERERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GUNS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED!!!
I stand corrected from the cattle baron, let me rephrase, grass or vegetation eaters. I was just being sarcastic, DAMN hunters types are too serious! I prefer predator hunting. I haven't tagged my Moutnain Lion yet though. I don't get out much anymore. When I was single I could always find the time, now I am hunting for a screwdriver to fix something of the wife's or honey do this and honey do that.
Now a real sport is Finch hunting. Those little bastards are quick and jumpy and to pick one off with a 22 rifle at distance is a skill all of its own. Make great finger food as well!

My left eye is dominant, but I shoot right handed. I shoot very infrequently, last time, I tried each eye, as well as the crook and pad of my finger to see what was going on...
Check with Red5, he seems to be quite good with the pistolero. If you are doing everything right and not jerking when squeezing I check the site, could it be slightly off or bent? I just shoot a revolver from time to time so my opinion is about as worth as much as a dingle berry hanging from an arse.
