So I have never shot through a “red dot” sight before.  But I know a lot of people like them so I figured I would give it a shot.  I bought a green dot sight (sale price was lower than the red dot) from Natchezz Shooter’s Supply for $17.  I figured if I hated it I could probably sell it for a profit on Ebay.  The one I bought was made by BSA.  I shot a couple groups with my Smith and Wesson 22A without the sight on it.  Not so good.  I can’t shoot a good group worth a crap with regular blade sights.  I threw the BSA Green Dot sight on and WOW.  All of a sudden it was shooting groups better than the guys with Ruger 10/22’s around me.  Read more »

Here’s another photo I took that screams “GET A BETTER CAMERA!”  But I still like it.  It’s the Cobb R35 GTR in the sunset at Buttonwillow after we blew up the drive shaft on it.  It was the weekend of the Super Street Time Attack.
