Well, I just couldn't wait until Christmas to give you the BIG SURPRIZE!
So, here it is:

Make a cross "+" on a piece of typng paper, the arms all 1/2 inch wide, and extendind from one side of the sheet to the other, like the line on the other sheet. Post this where you had the horizontal line and the vertical line target.

With the sights properly aligned, hold the pistol or rifle with the sights centered on the cross. Top of the rear sight in line with the top of the front sight, if conventional pistol sights; the top of the front rifle iron sight centered in the rear peep sight of a rifle (see that ghostly dark shadow in the center of the peep sight?)That's the cent of the rear sight) . Line the scope cross hairs up on the cross target.

Now, repeat the same 10 30-second dry fire (not pulling the trigger) exercizes, resting between each one (you can breath during the exercizes). Little bit harder to do, isn't it? Maybe we better spend a little more time on this sighting exersize, it is very important, because it builds your muscle strength and stamina to hold the rifle or pistol on target for a period of time.

If you use a red-dot, keep the red-dot in the + center. We all shake, the only guys who don't are dead.

Remember the only target we have is the +. No animals, bullseyes or -- oh what do they call those fuzzy brown things with bushy tails? Geeze! I wish I wasn't so old! More good news soon.
