Oi Andy. Do you have ANY idea how difficult it was to even get the shot at all?
I had the gun swinging about on a bit of wire hanging from the shed door frame, was standing on tip toe because my bit of wire was too short, had to use a wide aperture to get enough light to even register so had to focus spot on, nearly dropped the bloody camera several times, focussed manually because on autofocus the lens length kept changing and pushing the gun away from the camera, and shot several wikle dicky birds and the neighbours cat by mistake when I grabbed the trigger in a desperate attempt to stop myself falling over (somehow managing to reload by accident in between).
And you want the whole circle, plus stuff actually in focus? AND you want me to aim on it's eye when I had enough trouble keeping the damn thing from aiming at me, let alone at sweet wikle bunnykins. You don't ask much do you?!
Calm down Mark. Deep breaths

OK, sorry. So seriously, thanks, and I agree. I couldn't get the whole circle in without a wider lens. I do have my kit zoom, but I couldn't hold it against the sight and keep the zoom level AND focus; it kept pushing the lens in.
I think the only way to get the cross hairs and the bunny in focus would have been a much smaller aperture, but then I'd have had a very slow shutter and would have had shake and possibly an underexposed shot, because the sight cuts out quite a lot of light.
Yep the leaf I hold my hand up to. I'll have a word with the gardening staff!
Cheers mate. I think
