You should always shoot with both eyes open. Does not matter if it's a pistol, rifle, shotgun, bow or slingshot, both eyes open. If you are cross eye dominate there are two ways to work around it. The first of which most resist but is possible and seems to work best for younger newbies than old dogs is learn to shot with the weak hand. I have several stories of competitive shooters that I have worked with that swear they thought they would never learn to shoot as good with their weak hand to use their dominate eye and now are highly successful competitive shooters. The second option which most can easily adapt to and more than likely have actually kind of been doing anyway restrict the vision of the dominate eye. Most do this by closing the dominate eye however this is not recommended way of fixing this. The method that works best is to put some translucent tape on the shooting glasses covering the dominate eye so as to eliminate the eyes competing to acquire a sight picture. This works for static targets and moving targets but but handicaps trap and skeet shooters slightly only having one eye to find and lock on to the target. Of course there is a third option and that is do nothing and keep struggling with the cross eye dominance and you will occasionally hit the target.

I don't know what shooting discipline you shoot but if you're a shotgun shooter they don't get any better than this. I've seen them used in other disciplines but primarily shotgun sports. http://www.pillasport.com/prescription -
Thanks btq96r for posting the news video. Because of this I now know more about Lucky the Dog than ever due to the chyron at the bottom of the Dixie Gun and Pawn story. Here's the link if you want the story. Luck the Dog

I am fortunate to have enough property that I can walk out my back door and shoot anything from an air rifle to a .50 bmg just about any time of day I want. My second option is a 15 minute drive to a private range used by a very small group of people complete with steel targets. A regular shooting buddy and I felt the need to turn perfectly good ammunition into noise and hot smoking empty brass but the cold temperature for the last few days has been quite the deterent. If we were half or even a quarter of our current age we probably would not have given the cold weather a thought. So we decided to use option three today. Royal Range is about a 30 minute or less drive from where we live. Both of us have been there several times just to window shop or on an occasion walk out with an arm load of big boy toys or accoutrements. Neither of us had ever used their indoor range but we changed that today. We both had a great experience and really enjoyed their great facilities. I shot about 300 plus rounds of various calibers and as we were walking to our car I said that was awesome and I can still feel with my fingers and my ears and feet are not freezing. If the weather isn't suitable or there is not enough natural light left in the day to shoot outside and Royal Range is open, I will be going back. Royal Range

I'm really liking all the upgrades with the ongoing tweaking. Not really a big deal but something I just noticed and I only see it on my IPad. The search window overlaps the Leaderboard button.

Never drink and surf gunbroker, guns international and the like. The amount you spend may be quite the surprise when you check your emails the next day. Well at least that's been my experience anyway.

I've really liked all the changes until I logged on at home with my Ipad this evening. First thing I noticed like Obiwan is the smaller text and lots of unused white space. There may be a preference setting that maybe I should have checked before I commented.

During some competition last year I received a goodie bag that contained a bottle of Slip 2000 EWL (Extreme Weapons Lube). I used it a few times since it was there and it seemed to work fairly well and then by accident I came across this video recently. I don't know much about this the guy other than I think he is the one that accused fire clean to be nothing more than vegetable oil. https://youtu.be/lcBu6q61G3M

I see we are back to square avatars. I kind of like the additional real estate.

What, no Spanish translation?

A dozen plus post and not the first mention to what maybe an excuse for multiple black rifles of which I may be guilty of. Since you asked though, the one gun that first came to mind for me would be Remington 1100's.

This stuff appears to be quite scarce and I found several videos on how to make it yourself. Here are the only two places that list it as in stock. http://findmeammo.com/ammo/ammunition/828/Cheap-cci-shotshell-ammo-45-acp-120-grains-9-shot-box-of-10-For-Sale-In-Stock

Like Tennessee the state of Alabama does not have any registration requirements on firearms. So I'm not sure what you mean by being registered unless this is an NFA firearm which I'm under the impression it is not. If your father is going to ship the pistol to you it will need to go through an FFL if he is going to travel with it to your home and give it to you in person I don't see where an FFL needs to be involved as long as both parties are legaly elidgeable to own it. I'm just giving my opinion and I'm not an expert on the subject this is my opinion and I'm sure someone else will come along and agree or refute this.

It takes time but like any auction you will see a sleeper get through to the drop of the hammer. I was reviewing the last auction and there was a Baby Browning with an auction estimate of $500.00 - $700.00 that sold for $256.00.

I wish I could say thanks but the photo of the Enfield variants is one I snatched off the the interwebz. I do have a 1964 Ishapore Mk III though?

Is it a sign something is wrong with you when...

Okay I will play and in keeping with the holiday spirit, If your Christmas stocking looks like this, you may be a Prepper.

I have to agree with Garufa. What little evidence we have so far screams of Lee Enfield though.

If they're caught, maybe a little time with the Gimp would suffice.

Good choice! I've been using mine for nearly 25 years and not a single problem other than I've worn out a few pick up fingers on the primer tubes. Needless to say I am very pleased with mine. I don't shoot nearly as many metallic cartridges as I used to but enough to justify keeping it around. I have a friend that recently acquired a Dillon 650 and I helped him set it up over the weekend. We mounted it, set up case feeder and set the .223 dies and adjusted the powder seetting on Saturday. I went back on Sunday and we cranked out 1000 rounds in under three houres. I'm thinking I may have to upgrade because to be honest I got a little spoiled in one 3 hour session.

Which model did you get?

I have carried P938 for a couple of years and have none of the issues others have claimed to have with them. Out of the box my sights POA POI are good. I have also found that It's not unusual to have to drift fixed sights yourself no matter what manufacturer. I recommend a brass, wood or nylon punch. They may drift with minimal effort or your may have to get aggressive with the persuasion tool aka hammer. Like rowdy said I think it may be a good idea to let someone else shoot it. If they have the same results it is definently the sights. One thing with compact pistols is most tend to get too much finger into the trigger which may throw your shots to the left. Good luck!
