Russ if you have your email on your phone you can email yourself the pictures, and then open the email on the computer and download them. I do it all the time.
I'm sorry David but it didn't work....got the following message.
I checked everything / every setting I could check, and it left me scratching my head.
I wouldn't know a "Proxy Setting" if I passed one on the street..... :o
And, PC Matic tells me there is no virus...so I'll just wait 'till my next outing shooting and take pictures I know how to handle.
Thanks bud!

My old "Former" is a old glued back together piece of wood, that I whittled and sanded on form from a 1/2" dowel.
It's good to see there's more folks shootin these ol CB Revolvers than I had suspected.
It would be my best guess that the 1858 Remington is favored about 10:1 over the Colt.
I have owned two over years past, and even recognizing they were a favorite over the Colt, they just didn't fit my hand "just right", if you know what I mean.
The Walker is new to me. I have shot a .62 for many years and actually became proficient with it.
But this new Walker is a whole 'nother ballgame.
I certainly can't hold a sight picture very long...so when I'm on,   that is when that gun goes off!
If I don't, the barrel starts drooping down....I sure can't hold it out with one hand for very long!

Not sure how this going to work out. I suspect I'm going to have to learn to trust my wobbles a little more.
