Bob, Thanks for letting me know that. Helps know who I am talking to. I bet we have friends in common.
I am glad that mould got a great home. There are a few stories and background about that mould I won't hijack this with. OK, just a little hijack. Bullets out of that mould helped me win the Arizona State Silhouette championship a few years back when my other rifle's trigger sear went south and I used my 40-60 Maynard to finish the match.
Big Ted, So, you have a few good front sights to choose from and can give this a try. No problem there.
It won't ever be perfect for us old guys anymore but the game goes to those that can adapt and overcome. One of the grander old gentlemen that shoots these rifles in silhouette matches worked around floaters and cataracts and lens replacements ( he is in his later eights) and his determination and just plain refusal to give in, kept his scores in the high AAA-Master class and would win the occasional match....... with a big grin on his face.
Most people can shoot better than they think at first. They just need to slow down and really focus on the "centering up the target" task and NOT pull the trigger on a less than great sight picture.....even when you can not see picture perfect! All puns intended. Just find ways to work with what you have.
As you already know, just keep at it and don't give up trying. You are already well along the path. Singleshots with Black Powder is fun stuff!
