I have a hard time seeing the target at 100 yards so I just use the plain side. Was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

A daughter 26, Son 25, daugter 18. I didn't have any money to spend when I was 35. I guess I'm making up for lost time now. And yes, I can still see the sights on my rifles: pistol, otoh, another story. R
