Dude you don't need to be a dick about it. The guy asked about sighting in a rifle, not sneaking up and clubbing them to death. Why do you bother using a gun then? And why would you bother sighting it in at 100 yards? From what I can see on these boards you have a few long range weapons. Why if you don't use them? You could easily use a smooth bore, or a bow if you are that good.



You hunt the way you want and I will hunt the way I want. I don't just use my weapons for hunting, I actually like to shoot them and see how proficient I can become with them. 8 inch groups at any yardage would be embarassing to me. If you like to stalk deer, feel free. I prefer to snyper them when they don't know it's coming. I'm not really looking for a challenge when trying to kill something, I'm looking for dead deer. I want to be as effecient as I can. If I wanted challenge I would get rid of all my weapons and get a long bow.

I'm glad your a good hunter and have been doing for a long time. I don't have any trouble admiting I'm not that great of a hunter. That is why I don't hunt off the ground with my bow, I would rarely have any good results. To me that would just be frustrating and not very fun at all. More power to you if you like what you are doing that is great. However don't think everyone else in the hunting comunity has to follow your rules and ethics.

Oh, and the farthest I have shot a deer is 80 yards, doesn't mean I don't like my rifle to be capable of it if I want it to.
