20 steps, 7/8 oz #7 1/2 shot, 45 gr Goex ffg, Skychief load, 6 o'clock hold on the can.
 
I take long steps 😁 Things were a little bit blurred and I was a little shaky. After 4 surgeries and special glasses I still can't see worth a damn. This little gun can shoot better than I can shoot now days.

You might want to go to the local hardware store and get a 3/4" brass corner brace..., hold it in place with your tang bolt and use the large circle as a sort of DIY "ghost ring" as it may lift your impact just a smidge and work with your eyesight. If it doesn't come up high enough then try the 1" version.

Thanks, I have tried several combinations of glasses and sights. I can make out the front sight and the extended tang screw gives a shadow to reference it, but things get blurry past 20 yards. Just have the left eye now and it's about shot. Shooting off my left shoulder still feels weird too.

Nice job Mark would be interested in what she’d do with some cornmeal on top of powder then your shot then overshot card .know I’m getting anxious to go and shoot mine but that’s gonna be a while.Rosie is perfect for you and sure shoots a nice pattern,good luck with eyes and keep keeping on.

Or just file the front blade down a bit ! LOL ...I leave all front blades a tad tall so the shooter can dial it in to suit him .... Good shootin bud ! Good to see your out and about shootin Rosie ! Hope your well :)
