I was talking with someone recently at one of our muzzle loader matches. We have a few smoothbore shooters, but not many. We talked a little bit about filing into the tang/breech top surface a "v-notch" that acts as a sort of landmark for sighting the gun.
Some people consider it a witness mark for breeching/unbreeching the gun. Some people consider it a rear sight? I got differing opinions. Is a filed notch in the tang/breech a rear sight under your clubs/match rules?
Who has added a v-notch slot to the breech and tang area of a smoothbore fowler or musket? How much help is it?
