Yesterday was a beautiful, warm (89 degrees warm) day with very light breezes so I slipped off to shoot 4 22 rimfire revolvers. Things started off a little annoying. I had just put an old ADE red dot on my SS single six and I started with it to sight in in. The sight was retired in favor of a FastFire III sometime ago and worked fine when put away. I fired one shot and the dot went away. It was stored without a battery, and I installed an new one when I put on the gun. I could not get it to come on again and put it away The sight is long out of warranty so it's trashcan time for it. I moved on to a S&W 22-a with a FF III on it and put in a new battery. It wouldn't come on. I tried another battery with no joy. Back in the case it went beside the single six.
Next up was my modified GSG 1911-22, again wearing a FF III. Finally a red dot that works. tweaked the point of aim to where it was dead on at 10 yards and them went to killing rocks in the berm at about 27 yards. After I tired of that I made hash out of a water bottle that someone was "nice" enough to leave laying below the target board at 25 yards.
Next it was a Rossi Plinker, a nice little gun that I seldom shot because I didn't like the factory grip. I recently ran down what aftermarket grip would fit it and settled on a Pachmayr rubber one that turned it into a nice feeling grip. It was dead on at 10 yards with a center hold so I did the rock killing thing and added to the water bottle's demise some more. This gun has a day glow front sight and it shoot low at 25 yards with the rear sight all the way up. Experimenting I found that if I put the top of the light rod at the top of the rear sight it was on with a center hold. Now if I can remember that.
All in all I enjoyed the trip. Now to cure my problems encountered.
