I'm thinking of tightening the barrel on that redhawk about a 16th of a turn to see if I can shoot it any better that way. ! LOL

180 yards is not a good starting distance for me with that gun. I should have moved up on it a couple of feet.

Give me a decent 39 and I can tink it off and on all day.
