45 carbine update

Post by wvhills » Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:30 pm

man oh man, it's been a month since i was at the range last, that's sad... been mowing grass i guess, instead of getting to shoot... LOL.
anyway, i had put a williams peep on my carbine, but today when i gave her a try, it just did not work too well, oh i could hit the paper, but it was all over; so took it off and back to the factory buckhorn... few shots and got her dialed in...50 yds, fine bead. sitting on a bench, resting elbow. the "wild childs" are standing offhand.. got some work to do there, :D if i can match offhand what i did with resting my elbow, or at least pretty close, i will back up to 80 or 100 and see how that goes..
that is one smooth rifle though, it's just fun to shoot.

Nice work with the open sights. I think some folks forget just how effective these old traditional sights can be.
