Went turkey hunting early this morning, but I did take along the new (old) Renegade that I may pic up. So after getting frustrated by a smart ____! turkey - thought I would head over to the rock pit and shoot this gun for the first time.
This gun has a tang peep site and a globe front sight with a metal post reticule installed. I have not shot this combination of sights since iwas in high school - shooting on the high school ROTC program - so it was a re-learnig curve for me. I could not compute in my mind how you get everything lined up so that you take the same sight picture every time. It seems like there is so much space all the way around in the sight picture...I am thinking how do you know thefront globe is equally in thecenter of the rear peep + keep the post on the target...
I started at 25 yards took about 10 shots and finally got the hang of shooting those sights... just said the heck with it and let it kinda line itself up... anyway made a right windage and up elevation change @ 25 and set the target @ 50...
Mixed results and I am not sure why??? I felt good with #1 and even #2 was not that bad... but #3 was bad and I am not sure why.. beat myself up a bit then right back in there with #4... confidence doing well again - crap! #5.
Gave up on paper and then started shooting orangeclay pigeons... They actually seemed easier to shoot... Popped 10 pigeons - figued that was good enough for the first trip with the gun - hopefully more on Tuesday...
