However it was made before the Nerf so I wonder where the point of aim is. Give us your impressions about that.
Adjustable sights IIRC :)
I'd still be interested where on the site adjustment something shoots, and whether some load lands outside the adjustment range.
It may take a few weeks before we get to take her out. We've both been a bit sick. I was sick most of January and now it's my wife's turn. It's her gun so I'll wait till she's ready. I won't fool with the sights, but I'll photograph how it's set and then do some shooting at 5, 7 and perhaps 10 yards. I'll make notes on ammo and point of aim and where it hits. I have no idea about the adjustment on the sights and what range they are currently set zero to.

So I picked up some Winchester, but didn't see wadcutters at the Academy. Bisbee mentioned some things about wadcutters, but what all can you tell about them? I'll be keeping an eye out for them. I was reading some internet articles and one author mentioned using them in his first S&W .38 Special Target Masterpiece.

Thanks, I'll let you know if I can't find any.
