    Mayday-Mayday.I'm In Trouble

    I agree with DeadDawg that cataract surgery is apt to help. As to glasses, options may be a progressive lens to eliminate the trifocal lines and whereby you might render sharp sights or target by adjusting the tilt of your head to look through the appropriate portion of the lens, or a special...

    Tradegun vs Smooth Rifle Accuracy @ 100 yds

    Anyone care to comment on how a smoothrifle's accuracy potentially compares with a trade gun's of the same caliber? From experience with my tradegun and reviewing posts on ML forum, the consensus seems to be a smoothbore tradegun can hold its own w/ a rifle out to 50 yards and maybe to 65-70...
