Default RE: What would you do?

ORIGINAL: IndyHunter83

I've got an issue and I need some help guys. Yesterday morning I was lowering my gun down from my stand and the knot I had tied to the gun came undone and the gun fell approximately 4 feet to the ground. I looked through it to see if the scope had been damaged and it looked fine. I hunted with my back up gun that night because I didn't want to take a chance on missing or worse yet injuring a deer. My question is, since I've got time tomorrow before I hunt, should I go to the range and see what its doin or should I chance it? Let me know what ya think.

One other question, I've been sighting it in 1.5" high at 75yards and right on at 100. Should I switch the yardage since hunting different locations starting tomorrow through thanksgiving or should I just sight it in at the same range? I'm guessing the I could get the deer at 100 yds or closer but last year killed two out past 150 at the location I'll be at for the next few days.
By all means go to the range and verify your zero! If you DON'T, the biggest dad-burn buck you ever saw will walk out 30 yards from you, and LHAO while you struggle trying to reload because the first shot missed! Just as you slip the cap onto the nipple, he'll step back into the brush and disappear!

BT-DT!! Happened in Indiana too! At Crane Naval Ammunition Depot!
