    Cataract Surgury and Shooting

    Best surgery I ever had! Wore glasses or hard contacts over 50 years, had this done about 10 years ago...All I did to adjust was widen the gap in the rear sight, to better see the front one...Hopefully your surgery will be as successful as mine...I do use readers 1.25 for reading, went with 2.50...

    Woodsrunner 45 Caliber

    Problem with balance is everyone is different, it's subjective... I have a Bob Watts mountain rifle, 13/16 straight barrel, 42 inches long.40 caliber, I like how it feels, not to heave to carry squirrel hunting and is steady with a rest... I have a .54, early Lancaster, 1 1/16 tapered to...

    Poor boy triggers. Single or double?

    By the early 1800s most bears and deer were gone so they were hunting squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, etc...Bores were typically .30-.40 caliber, so, you are shooting a small target, usually the head with smaller calibers, accuracy was the key...Thus, they went with set triggers.

    SOLD Powder horn

    I like it!! Would be perfect for those with a WoodsRunner as it reflects an earlier, little more primitive horn...Good luck!!
