SHOTGUN SIGHTING IN, PLEASE ANSWER

GUYS I HAVE TO SIGHT IN MY REMINGTON 11-87 FULLY RIFLED CANTILEVER SOON. I ONLY HAVE TIME TO SHOOT IT AT OUR 50YD. PISTOL PRACTICE RANGE.

SO HOW HIGH OVER THE BULLSEYE SHOULD I BE AT 50YDS., TO REACH OUT AND STILL BE WITHIN THE KILL ZONE OF A WHITETAIL DEER AT 125/150 YDS?

I SAY ABOUT 2 3/4INCHES MAYBE 3INCHES ABOVE THE BULL.

That sounds about right tome. I would probably stick closer to the 2", that is what mine is and it is about dead on at 100 yards.

Good Luck

Your guess sounds about right. But, when you are hunting, if possible shoot it at the longer distances, such as 100 yards or so, just to be sure!!

Keep yore powder dry!!
