Your first shot is thru a cold clean barrel ,every shot after that unless you let it cool down and clean it will shoot different than the first ones. I would sight it in for the first shot, which means letting it cool and cleaning between shots. I would not recomend shooting it before season and then not cleaning it, your gun will become corroded very quickly.
