Finally got my sights in order.pics below.
The 36 was 7/16 & 3/4 above poa with a 7/16 group.
The 32 was 1 in. And 9/16 above poa with a1/2 in. Group.

I would have shot more but with each sight adjustment the shots went exactly where they should. After the zeroing was done I just shot 2 shots from each gun to confirm.
So in other words I did shoot more in same spot just wanted new targets for my groups.
Finally found some good patch material and lube was mutton talow.Left target 36 right was 32.Before you ask the two bullseye were to cover up holes and poa wasright at bottom where they meet.

Sorry fellers. Distance was between 20 and 25 yards. I'm guessing it was closer to 25. I need to measure that target. It's at a conservation club. Lock the gate behind me so only members can come in.
Pics of range. Nice place no goof offs wandering in.

Don't know what the distance was but that's pretty good shooting for a short muzzleoading rifle.

I was having a hard time finding sights that worked.My old eyes were having trouble even with peep and blade.
After I painted the front blade it came together.
