Bullseye shooting with my JM Special

[Dale53]

I'm trying to figure out what I'm seeing in your two pictures. Is that a scope? On a wheelgun? Isn't that kind of like putting slicks on a Yugo? ;-)

Keith;
I lost the vision in my right eye a number of years ago. Using a Red Dot sight, I converted to left eye, right handed, in TWO range sessions. The Red Dot sights have enabled me to keep shooting at a relatively high level. I'm certainly not going to scare any high master pistol shots but I do pretty dern good for an "old fat man":




Both targets standing at 25 yards.

Here's my "lovely pair":



Oh, and one last target (this was shot when I was much younger - I was only 78 when this one was shot - I'm 80 now and still shooting with a big smile on my face):

This one, again was shot standing at 25 yards:



And just in case you're wondering, Keith, I was NOT offended. Your comments reminded me of all of those wonderful days (would add up to months and months, no doubt) of woods wandering with a good, "naked" revolver on my hip. I can recognize good natured "ragging"... >))

Dale,

I too lost some sight in my right eye 20 yrs. ago due to retinal detachment. I switched to left-eye, right-handed shooting with both iron and red dots. I'm primarily an action shooter and haven't done Bullseye since my Army days.

I also appreciated your use of Pachmayr Decelerators which I also use. I despise Hogue pebble rubber.

Good shooting to you!

S&WIowegan;
Thank you for the kind words. While I think of it, I would like to thank you for the many helpful posts you have done for all of us, in the past, present, and hopefully, long in the future.

Merry Christmas! to one and all...

Dale,
All in good fun. I'm 63 and only hope I'm shooting at your level in another 17 years.

Awesome! You guys are the best! My feeble attempts have only landed me good groupings at about 14 yards. And i also feel as if im a young pup among you all. Im 42 and with a bad back. Ive also tried my hands at shooting with red dots. this is one of the "toys" im working on. A 686+ 6"7 rounds in the middle! I was happy.....this is the 625JM! I put a fiber optic (green) helps with my eyes. hogue rubbers!
