so I took 2nd at MRS cousin's muzzleloader shoot... ( 2nd place has to buy the beer for the next year ) so I guess I'll be going again next year... needing to practice more 1st thing, but on the 100 meter target, the front post ( ramp ) covered the 8" black square completely so it made it difficult to adjust my shots a little... I'm using my FIL's old 50 caliber, & it has a cheap ( non screw windage adjustable ) tall rear tang sight, & maybe the stock front sight???
the guy that beat me ( has won 1/2 or better of the shoots, since the 90's when they started ) uses ( I think ) aperture sights both front & rear... I'm wanting to add a better quality rear sight that as a windage adjustment, that is better than loosening the aperture to slide it one way or the other, also I don't need a tall sight, the one currently on the gun, has a ball detent to fold, & I don't think it's very repeatable... so something shorter & more ridged...
& for the front sight I want something that won't cover up my spot at 100 meters... perhaps something with an insert??? what ever I end up getting should be versatile enough for 25, 50, & 100 meters of target work...
anyway... I plan on practicing 1st & foremost, but want what ever I buy & install to work well as my eyes start to age...
& I want to make sure I'm not buying the beer again in 2 years
