I wish you well. Getting old is not for the faint of heart. I dread the day I can't be in the field. I hope you find joy in other places!

I didn't read all the posts but anyone good with a shotgun is shooting sight picture. If you have time to mount the gun and look down the rib over the bead and make sure you are mounted correctly, then great, but most of the time it's instinctive mount and shoot.
