No, just crazy

There are some guys who spend more for the optics than they spend on thier bows or rifles. Others would rather eat dirt. I am of the first camp and don't care what the other camp does but at the same time would like to understand the reasoning. I said understand not hear, LOL!
I love my Bushnell Holos but never understood just how good they were until I used them. Some day I'll get an Ecotech and a Zeiss Z-Point.
Hey Moon! Tell me more about the air pistol.

It's a muzzle loader..............Knighthawk 50 caliber. Been discontinuedfor years. It's like new and shoots Shock Wave 250 grain bullets in front of 70 grains of Triple Seven. 2" groups at 50 yards:-) I converted it to use shotgun primers. The Contender is a 14" barrel 45/70!! Now that's a handfull. I also have a 12" barrel in 45/70 but it's even too unpleasant for me to shoot it and I think recoil is cool on handguns:-) Zeiss Z-Point is the only reflex sight I've used that will withstand that punishment.

I knew I'd seen one of those pistols before but couldn't place it to save my life. I'm pretty much a traditionalist when it comes to ML's, but I always thought that was one cool looking gun.

With guns, I'm the same as with crossbows.....I love them all. Here is my 1841 Mississippi 58 caliber that I hope to get a buck with this fall................and no, there will be no Z-Point on this one

RE: Single red dot VS peep and pins
I've been experimenting with peep and pin for the past couple of weeks (MANY THANKS, Moonkryket!!!) and have decided the varizone is going back on. Peep and pins might be workable for younger eyes, but I kept getting a krick in my neck from whipping back and forth from pin to target with my bifocals.[8D]
Really, the blur from the pin covers up the entire kill zone on a McKenzie deer at 30 yards. Much better to have that crosshair superimposed on the center of the 10-ring - or the nock of the poor fool that shot before me.
