Out of curiosity, what made you decide to go sightless?

Point shooting with the Pup at 7 yds or less is easy and accurate with practice(unless you plan on 50yrd shots?!#%?). In archery, we called a similar exercise..."instinctive". It's not for everyone but I love it. Nice! R

It's a slippery slope, the little pups tend to multiply..........

Tom:

I thought you might get a kick out of Eric Rohrbaugh's new screen saver on his office computer:


His comment in an e-mail to me was, "I just finished building that one and sent it out to the FFL, and then to see it already in a photograph on the forum ~ Well - That's just plain cool baby."

In case you think Richard may be joking check out the logo on the stationary next to the mouse pad.

Thanks Reinz! I have seen a pic of the inside of your safe and think that we may suffer from the same R9 disease.
