Thank you for the write-up. Do you know if Appleseed has these targets available for practice? What distance were you from the target?

Yes, Regular practice is necessary to get good hits on target. Lots & Lots of regular practice. With self-diagnostics to prevent bad habits from creeping in to what we do when trying to get good hits on target.

I am making a commitment to trying to get at least 100 shots/week in (on my basement airgun range) and maybe some dry fire as well.

Re multifocals: I've always found it hard to focus on the (front) sight rather than the target, but I try to work on that. One thing that helps is *not* to use my bifocals, but rather my computer glasses. Those are not quite reading glasses; they are optimized for reading a computer monitor, or the sheet music on your piano. That makes them perfect for shooting, because that's also the distance at which you'll find your front sight. And using single-focus glasses means avoiding strange neck contortions.
