I’m very glad I switched out my sights on my trusty “Kit Hawken”. I have been making steps to improve and it might be working.
I got Dutch Schultz’s book, and have been trying his system. I always brought up the rear in our club shoots, and often came in last.
Today, went to the range and fired 10 shots-time was a factor!
second 5 was the best, used 72 grains of 2F and .011 patch pillow ticking. Of course, I hosed up the last 2 shots.
bench rest at 50 yds.
but, I’m happy with the results. Might try a thicker patch, and hate the idea of weighing balls, but may give that a go.

Nice! You are getting their congrats!

Remember, front sight, front sight, front sight know where that front sight is when you pull the trigger AND through the shot!

To confirm the inherent accuracy of your shot, have a lookie here:
