    Finally sighted in my M48

    During my period of enforced practice retirement I’ve been getting things done in the man cave and engaging in some high powered social distancing. I’ve got a Yugo M48 that I never enjoyed shooting because it shot way high and right. At 100 yds probably 10 inches right, 15 inches high. Time to...

    Until now middle age eyesight hasn't affected my shooting very much. A little farsighted, I need reading glasses but see good otherwise. Shooting mostly pistols I do well with or without prescription lenses. Shotguns and casual clays? No problems. Garands, 03A3's, M1A's? Hmmm, well not as good...
