    Mike:
     
    Thanks for working out the site.  I think I am going to learn to have to toss the really bad sites, but at this time of year, I'm just happy to see the stars.  It's odd as I can often get repeatable lops within  a mile or two of my Ap for one star, and then I will shoot one over and over and be 10-15 miles away. More practice needed!  The Mark V is perfect, and I figured out the bubble. Now I just need some stars.
     
    Has anyone ever been able to improve the dim bubble lighting on the Mark V?
     
    Bruce
