tough crowd!
I am working on it! Sheesh, give a guy a break! I was happy just to hit the darn thing!
On the red dots, I hear you but I have learned to think of them as iron sights and just to remember that all I need to know is what the sight picture should look like for a hit the way you would do shooting irons out at say 100 yards. That seems to help me get over the idea that I need a smaller dot for precision.
