Re: New sights available for us with aging eyes
The red dot sight and scopes make it much easier for me. Some of the newer Class etched optics are fast and easy to focus day and night.

A normal Night response (depending on how the dog launches) is an 870 Marine with red dot sight with two Buckshot then slugs. Or a lever gun in .44 or .45 with a red dot sight.
