Re: Gunsights
Ayuh,.........
All Good Advise here,.......
Just set the rear sight where you Think it otto be on the elevator,+ Pop off 3 shots or so,+ See where it's hitting......
Then move it accordingly......
A couple years ago, We had a Woodchuck that moved into our Garden,......
So,..... I set a leghold trap in 1 of his runways,....
Next day, before I got home from work, He got in the Trap,...
My Love arrived home before me,+ God Bless her, She decided to take Care of the Problem Herself,......
Grabbing my little Remington Nylon 76 levergun with the Tasco scope of unknown power she went out to the garden,+ commenced to Unload on the poor creature,..... She was Trying to sight thru the Scope,+ was seeing Brown with no detail,.... She Could have looked Under the scope,+ used the Iron Sights which are mounted,+ Sighted.....
But,.........
Anyways,............ When I got home from work,.....
I found My Love in a Tearful Bundle almost on the floor,...... A Total Wreck,......
Naturally,.... I consoled her,+ asked What the problem could be,..??..??.......
So,.......
She explained What had just happened,+ that She was out of Bullets,+ the poor creature was Still Scared $h!tle$$ peeking out from under the fence..............
Soooooooo,......... I poured in another 15 shots or so,+ walked out to the Garden,......
Sure enough,...
There's Woody sitting under the fence, I walk up to him, Point-Blank on the noggin,+ Pop him...........
1 of those Priceless Moments was the Look on My Loves face..........
In Her utter Amazement,...........
The Tears Stopped,+ She says,.........
"$h-T,.... That was Easy,....... I was standing over Here"................
Which was about Maybe 10'/12' away....................
The critter was on an 8" Chain,.......... Not like he was going too far....
Btw,...........
Back to topic,.........
I've found that switching to a "Peep Sight" really Helps.................
