I had the 7 degree offset and did not like it. I am right handed and right eye dominant. The offset made my hand and wrist position awkward and uncomfortable. If you are shooting to the left of the bull, you can also try moving your foot position to turn your body a bit more to the right.

They help you improve your balance. You practice standing on the wobble boards. You have to develop really good balance to be able to hold a shot on them. Makes shooting on the solid ground seem like a piece of cake.

Great setup. The little "hopper" that opens up to catch the spent primers on mine was sticking closed, sending spent primers onto the floor. I applied a little graphite powder used for lubricating locks and it works great. The graphite powder is not greasy at all so will not attract dirt, ...

I thought I had responded earlier but my post seems to be gone. If this one disappears too I will know I am violating some sort of rule.

I have had enamel pins made through these guys with good results.

I recommend the enamel cloisonné pins. Very nice.

Rover. I do shoot with Vic and met his son once last year. Vic gives me shooting tips which so far have not stuck too well but I am working on it.

Check out WSRPA - Washington State Rifle and Pistol Association. The web sight lists all the ranges and leagues available. There is a pretty rich shooting scene here and growing.

The West Seattle club is very robust.

Yes there are both fixed height and variable heigh riser blocks for the rear sight.

Don't bother us with your stupid questions in the future....

Feinwerkbau P70 sight question

Looking at a used P70. When shooting at 10 meters, the rear sight is all the way at the upper range of its vertical adjustment and it still shoots a hair low.
