Keep the front sight framed in the rear sight

Balance the circle on the front sight like a ball on a pedestal

Gently squeeze the trigger.

Works for me every time!:D :D :D

p.s And I have no idea about old radio shows since that was before my time!
It just worked for me tonight! Got me another rat in the hen house. As for the Shadow, well, since there are already more then three or four that admit remembering him, I won't bother...

Don't believe I have seen Amos and Andy come up here as yet.
I keep finding little windows on this forum, that I don't really know what they do. So sometimes I experiment. Probably shouldn't do that, I know in my shop it can get me into trouble.

There are probably only three of four members who understand that.
That was something that came out of the speaker in the front of that Emerson radio set that was about the size of a modern refrigerator.
