Experimental sights/experimental ammunition and gongs

[Eric Johanen]

If I remember correctly, the 1879 Springfield sight has windage on the staff slider bar and worked very well. The sight base on my Shiloh Military Rifle has a bit of windage by wigglying the rear sight a little right or left. On my C. Sharps using the C. Sharps sight base and a Shiloh rear sight also has a nice gap and left/right can be adjusted some by moving the rear sight left/right. It is not much but every bit helps. Better than Kentucky Windage for sure. Practice and notes are a big help in getting on the target and staying there. Great fun and pretty darn effective as long as the target is not too small.
