Get to the range before you head out in the woods this fall!

Are you kidding me!



I think the last shot nicked a chin hair.

This video reminds me of a true story.....
I was hunting some state property near Dalbo, Minn.
As a buddy and myself were coming out of the woods for lunch, we met a younger guy walking up to his truck. Seemed like a normal activity, but, the guy was carrying his brand new rifle like it was a suit case....yes, by the scope! What also struck me as "funny" was that he had 2 bannana clips attached to his belt and one in the gun......Remember...This IS a true story!
We stopped and talked to the guy...we asked him about his gun. He said that he had just purchased it the night before rifle season, he went on to say that he hoped that he brought enough bullets cause he didn't want to run out....

I asked him if he had sighted the rifle in before he came out hunting....
And this is what he told me....."You mean that these aren't sighted in when you buy them?"
I then asked him if I could try shooting the gun and without any objections, he said ok....
This gun was shooting 2 feet low and 16" to the left.....way off target!
Needless to say...I did the good samaritan thing and helped the dude out!
And I told him not to carry his gun like that anymore, otherwise the sighting I just did, would be off again.

I guess if we wouldn't have stopped to talk to the guy, he would have needed all of that ammo!


Sorry 22lex to leave such a long reply....but it was something that really happened, and reminded me when I saw the video.

That video reminds me of some of the people in our hunting group   

My dad put up a shooting bench with a 25-50-100-200-400 yard targets.  It is along side of a fence, and I could not figure out how my cows kept getting out.  Well here they had missed the targets and had hit the fence posts and busted them in half!!!!  The best part is the fence is about 20 yards to one side of the targets    They had actually broke almost every post in the stretch from the shooting bench to the 50 yard target!!!

  I hear those guys every year, opening morning...thankfully from a looooong ways away.... I envision them takin the shots (ya usually hear about 4 or 5 shots in a row...) at a deer thats standing there staring at them and then they just calmly walk away unharmed....

One shots = dead deer 
two shots = wounded deer,might find
Three shots = wounded deer, will not find
four shots = Still running

dakids,
Thats just about how we figure it.
