Re: Check your screws
Thanks for this graphic comparison, Mags. I mistakenly assumed that purple, being a combination of blue and red on the color wheel, would be an intermediate between the two. Now, I know.

Re: Check your screws
I learned my lesson the hard way...
As someone once told me, "Lessons hard learned, well remembered."
I had become friends with a Royal Dutch Marine NCO during a joint NATO Training Op in the Caribbean. We stayed in touch via letters and postcards. (Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet.). My friend sent me a package and it contained a target, entry form, znd instructions, for a postal match. I took the target to the range and the range master was happy to oversee my remote participation. I decided to shoot centerfire/revolver with my model 27. A tack driver. 3/4 of the way thru, I seemed to be loosing my touch. The range master, watching thru the spotting scope, told me to focus. I was dropping eights and nines.
I was disappointed, but mailed off the target. I discovered that the two mounting screws on the rear sight had worked loose, throwing off the sights. Once those were loctited and tightened, I was back in business, but there are no do overs in pistol matches.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
