Two weekends, two 'seeds.
Sun, wind, rain, mud, more rain, sleet, lead shot, and did I mention rain?
A pair of PCs.
And now a weekend to rest.

Gear that was hosed off and hung to dry needs packing.
From observations made and lessons learned my core load out needs some work both in inventory and packing.
Some gear needs mending.
And during my down time there's Strikes to learn and another PC to work on.

Not on the line but the work continues. O0

A printer, some scissors, a scrap piece of thin MDF, and a jig saw.
Some fiddling around....
A bit of black spray paint...

Voila!
A set of Sight Alignment/Sight Picture visual aids.
Stiffer and less absorbent so wind and rain won't make their use such a challenge.
Not perfect but good enough is just that.  Good enough.

I've got some scraps of 1/4" plywood laying around...
May have to make some extras for Iowa Cadre...
Fearful but resolute.

Glad to have inspired you!
I'm sure your version will be 10x better.
Keep up the great work!

Matte black...
Now do I paint the "bead" on the simulated gold bead gold?
Probably should add the white diamond too...

Heh, stay tuned for version 2.5 (beta).
