    What's everybody use to coat the inside of sight shaders?

    I was thinking about candle soot would be cool.

    Good evening Ned!
    Back when I was shooting and need a sight black I finally settled on tar paper. It puts out a very dense black soot that is a little tougher than candle soot. I cut black felt paper about 3/8" wide and 4" long. Thats what my shooting bow trays were. I folded the tar paper in half length wise and carried one in my shooting bag also. It worked really well, lit well even in the breeze and easily blown out and saved for another time. About a half dozen of these would last all shooting season. My experience!!

    Yes, roofing tar paper the thinner kind not the real thick kind but the thicker kind may work and you wouldn't have to fold it. I folded it because it seemed to burn better. I think you'll like it!

    Three things you must remember while target shooting. (1) Align the sights carefully. (2) Squeeze the trigger. (3) Say how did it get over there. http://prwarner.wix.com/mlts-masters
