The Marlin Cowboy 38-55, resting on one knee, I lowered the peep just to see where it was. 😯😅 bad low.

After a few adjustments I managed this small group, as they say third times a charm. Last shots touches the red. I am liking this sight.

Pretty effective highlighting the low ones.

About to RR.
Thanks Mark.
Lol, CF, I did take another pic but that one severed the purpose.👍
Go for it Al, what distance?
Waiting on the new gong, then I will attempt some longer distance.

I usually shoot at about 50 yards with irons but I have shot 100 150 and 200 once upon a time when I used it in cowboy silly wet. Might take a crack or two at it at 75 80 yards tomorrow. Out there on the grasslands you can really stretch it out if you want to.

Al, how does the Cowboy compare to the Henry?
Do they like similar loads or are they completely different?
