We had seven or\neight hunters take advantage of the event.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One gentleman brought out his new rifle with a freshly\nmounted scope \u2013 with no idea just where it might be shooting.&nbsp; We did a crude bore sight off the bench and\nthen took the first two shots.&nbsp; The\nSilver Mountain Targets told us that he was about 24-minutes off to the\nleft.&nbsp; He was not sure which way his\nscope adjusted, so we put about 6-minutes of what we thought would be \u201cright\u201d on\nthe knobs and shot again.&nbsp; The third shot\nwas about 30-minutes left; obviously we guessed wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So \u2013 we put about 30 minutes of the \u201cother right\u201d on \u2013 and his\nfourth shot was solidly in the black.&nbsp;\nHis fifth and sixth shots were solid 10-X shots and he was well sighted\nin at 100-yards with just a couple of more shots.&nbsp; He went over to the 200-yard bench and shot\nthree more shots to verify his drop at 200-yards; as far as he intended to\nshoot at anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point of the story; within 30-minutes and about half a\nbox of ammunition, a hunter was able to go from a new unfired rifle to a rifle\nwith a solid set of zeroes that more than meet his needs.&nbsp; That would have been hard to do with a paper\ntarget, shoot and walk setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several other people shot at various ranges, mainly putting\ntouch-up adjustments on their rigs and we had some casual shooters try out the\nelectronic targets for the first time.&nbsp;\nThey agreed that electronic targets would spoil people very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a successful day \u2013 thanks to everyone who came out\nand helped with target set-up, helped work with hunters and to tear down and\nput things away. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, October 24th was our Deer Rifle Sight-In event at the range.&nbsp; Indiana deer season starts November 14th, so we wanted to give members and guests a chance to set zeroes and to have plenty of time to practice with a rifle they knew was zeroed where they wanted it to be.&nbsp; This was a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1289"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1291,"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1289\/revisions\/1291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fwrrclub.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
