This morning, I asked her if she would like to go to the range and shoot a little. She has not enjoyed shooting very much since her corneal transplant. The procedure was needed because of damage from an eye infection. She sees multiple images with the eye, but at least she can see and the horrible pain from the old scarred cornea is gone. It's sad really, because I taught her to shoot after we married 30 years ago, and she really misses it at times.
She decided to give it a try. She started easy today by putting 40 rounds through my CZ 452 American. I set up the rack of 24 steel silhouettes at 25 yards and encouraged her to just plink away at her own pace. I had four loaded 10 round mags at her disposal.

She picked off the last standing critter (of the 24) with her 40th round.
After a reset, she took out a couple of rows with my open sighted Remington 552. Wow, open sights too.
Very encouraging. I asked if she was seeing multiple images and she said she was. I told her, "As long as the crosshairs or sights are on all of them, just squeeze off the shot." It worked.
