I then set up the pistol rest and used a target that didn't have a black bullseye, just blue circles on a white background. Suddenly every shot was inside the bullseye (estimated 2" circle). Achieved the same result with six more freehand rounds. Confirmed my worst suspicion: it was the nut holding the pistol. My almost 71-year-old eyes just won't let me properly align black sights on a black target.Next time I'll use one of my Shoot'N'See orange pasters on the bullseye. And I sure love that pistol.
I feel your pain. I too have a weak wristed blind as a bat shooter attached to the back end of my '47 K-22.
