Some what disappointed....

In today’s bulletin, which I make a point to read every day. The subject being silhouette shooting. Not even a slight mention of IHMSA any where in the blog. I know there are a lot of IHMSA shooters that frequent here on a daily basis. Accuracy is appreciated by all, no matter the form.

I am no world champion from the Internationals, but I have my share of state wood. IHMSA actually has made me a better rifle shooter.

Not meant as any kind of rant, just surprised there was zero mentioned about the pistola shooters.

I loved IHMSA in it's heyday. Iron sights only and no support. I wonder what happened?

The boss has a ton of articles to post. I wish i was a good writer id help out when i could. He gathers info from everywhere and puts it here so we’re a one stop shop for shooting related news

Count me as another one who liked the years he spent shooting IHMSA matches.

Shot IHMSA matches back in the 70's and 80's. Wichita Arms bolt action pistol in 7mm IHMA caliber and a Dan Wesson revolver in .357 Super Mag. Open sights and no supports. Now it's shooting stools and scopes. Not complaining, at least I'm still shooting.

I did too and also did Palma with Iron Sights and Hi Power X-Course with iron sights. Fast forward to today and at 45 my dominate eye has gone from 20/08 to 20/40. That is not the problem though accommodation is the problem if I used the right word. Basically I can keep the rear sight in focus or the front sight in focus along with the target but I can not keep both sights and the target in focus. So I am fine with a bead on a shotgun and fine with staying on my front sight in CQB or hunting at close range with a pistol again staying on the front sight. For everything else though I use optics. My Mauser rifles with stock sights are impossible for me to use as built the notch in the rear sight is too small.
