Hey folks,
Season's Greeting to all! :-)
My FIRST post! So, I'm driving to the gym this morning thinking about my new planned endeavor..... I'm gonna take up the art of hunting when I retire in about a year. I've been a shooter all my life, but never really a hunter. One pheasant and one turkey over the years ( I'm 62! ). I expect to be hunting with a friend in the Blue Ridge Mountains when I move to north Georgia on retirement.
Anyway, I bought a new Marlin 336 in 30-30. This is gonna be my iron sight brush gun. I don't expect I'll take a shot over 50 yards. Remember my eyes are 62 years old! My question is: Should I zero this rifle in at 50 yards and then calculate for closer and further shots? Or should I zero it in at 100 yds, as I see in tables I've been looking at, and do the calculations from there?
I'm on a couple of motorcycle bulletin boards and have had a great time learning and exchanging ideas with folks in this type of venue. I think I'll find the same here. :-) Thanks!
