As I have gotten older it is harder for me to see a 12 guage shotgun hull at 50 yards, yet when I get the proper back ground and lighting conditions I can still hit the red blur at 50 yards 2 hits out of 4 shots is not too shabby for my old eyes

I'd say that's pretty good for any eyes. Nice shootin'.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Good shootin'! I think my front site blade is wider than a 12ga hull at 50yds.

Great shooting! And I agree, just seeing a shotshell case at 50 yds would be a real challenge!

Execellent shoot'n! No matter you age or vision ability!
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Good shootin'! I think my front site blade is wider than a 12ga hull at 50yds. Thanks guys for all of the kind words. The back ground and lighting has to be proper are all bets are off. Yes the front sight is wider at that range than the hull. I use a 6 o'clock hold which means that the hull is centered on top of the front sight. With a bit of practice it cn be done and I bet a bunch of you guys can do it.
