I was sure you were one of those with range issues. I'm really glad the eye problem has been resolved. And with a little bit of luck, maybe the range situation will improve also. Good Luck buddy.

I live on the edge of a three thousand acre tree farm that is leased by my hunt club. I can shoot up to 75 yards in my back yard or the front one if necessary. I will be running some ball for a new to me Kibler WR in 54 cal and will try to shoot maybe on Tuesday. I may also shoot the 36 cal TVM kit rifle I put together some years back, or the 45 cal Kibler SMR I assembled. Heck, I may shoot all three calibers on separate targets and submit them. We'll have to see what lies in store for me. I'm 83 years old and not tied down to anything, so----

You just have at it buddy. You and I do have one similar problem. That is the decision of which one to use. So in the course of each year, I try to use each one. Our muzzleloading group is having it's final shoot of the year today. So I had to decide which one to use today. So I've decided to use the TVM Iron Pennsylvanian. It gets used the least of any of them. Needs the cob webs blew out of the barrel. Well welcome aboard and have fun making all that smoke. Looking forward to looking at all those targets you'll be sending pictures of.
