Have the regular Bearcat. Serrated the back of the blade with a checkering file, dab of white on front sight. Blackened back face of the rear notch. I shoot a 'LOT' of CCI CB Caps adjusted with one of Paco's ACU'RZR tools.

Sheri and I spent four hours in the plane on the runway in Houston last Friday, waiting for the storm to let up so we could all head south. On the positive side that meant less time in the airport in Panama and the area really needed the moisture. So win/win. We were glad that it was clear enough here in Pereira so we weren't sent off to some other port of entry, lack of rain has not been a problem here for some time.

Fuzzy sights are a real problem. I'm almost tempted to try one of those HiViz type front sights to see if that'd improve things. They're ugly, unattractive and give a very different sight picture than I'm used to, so haven't gotten that desperate yet. A couple of 10" 4.5 mm barrels somehow managed to find their way south so I'm going to try that first - longer radius MAY improve the sight picture. Don't know if it'll be enough for low light or not, only one way to find out. The 4" 38, on the other hand, is what it is and I just have to do what I can to shoot it as is.

All that rain pasted south of us... just got a touch of it here in the Ozarks...

As for old eyes... yeah... I'm relying more and more on "instictive" point shooting these days... rather than precise aimed shots...

I also use a lot of Aguila Super Colibri powderless .22 ammo for short range (and or indoor) shooting... very little "report" and for "barn rat" distances, it does the trick...

Back in 2005 I did an experiment with the Colibris at 30 yards to see if they would group... the target was a life-size silhouette of a ground squirrel... amazing enough I was able to put all the rounds into the silhouette... wish I still had those eyes...

Here is my experiment at 30 yards with a HighStandard Longhorn using the Colibri rounds
