They say it can't be done

Don, it sounds like you did enjoy it and I think it is a fine and fun game to get out and enjoy. That sucks that you lost your sight caddy. Having the right aperture in the front can make a lot of difference. Personaly I like the ones that are supported by 4 wires if you will, as opposed to the ones that stand on a single post like the Lyman aperture's do. I have yet to see someone throw a low shot and still take the animal down. Not saying it can't or don't happen, just that I haven't seen it.
I do think it would be interesting to shoot a match with a scope, if nothing else just to see what its like. Since your an unclassified shooter, go for it.
As to someone standing over you and yelling for you to shoot, I don't think that would set all that well with me. That seems like it would add a lot of unneeded pressure that no shooter needs. I have found that shooting silhouettes one of the most fun and most relaxing competitions I have ever been involved in. Good people, good fun, and an excellent test of your abilities as well as that of your rifle and ammunition. And its kind of funny how you can pick out the "plang" of your target being hit above all the other shooters on the line.
