It's that time of year where even if we are busy doing other stuff we manage to get some range time in. Working the hunter sight-in days at my gunclub it is interesting to see what people consider good enough. As a person that has driven myself crazy with the old one click up/down, right/left I have to wonder. The deer that I killed would have been just as dead if my 30-06 had been off a couple of inches. I shoot for the center of the shoulder 1/3 of the way up to give myself the largest target area for a clean kill. But I have seen guys stop after they finally get on the target, anywhere on the target. They proclaim if it's on a pie plate it's going to be good enough for their needs. I have also cringed watching someone adjust their rifle using 4 different boxes of ammo. Each from a different manufacturer and sometimes not even the same weight bullet. I have some times suggested that they reduce the number of variables for where the bullet is going to group on the target. It is crazy to me that more shooters have no idea that buying ammo for their rifle or shotgun is not the same as buying gas for their car/truck. I personally think that more articles in gun magazines pointing out that picking x instead of y because it is onsale is going to require a trip to the range
to see where it really is going to go. What does the group think?
