Hi John ,

Thanks for the welcome ,and advice regarding reading glasses , i have had to upgrade to mag glasses over my reading glasses , maybe work my way upto bino's next haha as for fingers wrists etc we are both in same boat , i spent hours on ranges and exersize lumping my good old trusty SLR around until some kind B>>>t>>d decided the was not heavy enough for me ,and gave me the SMG  with good old 84mm lol ,so i know the pain your in mate ,

sorry to read about your wife's health problems you would think with todays advancements in medicine they would be able to cure the big C by now  , i hope she makes a full recovery John .
