You can study ballistics tables for hours, fret over fractions of inches and shoot until your shoulder is raw. Or you can follow these simple sighting-in guidelines and take the pressure off.[/align]Twelve Gauge Slug Gun: With a rifled barrel and saboted slugs, sight in 2 inches high at 50 yards; you can hold right on to 100 yards. With a choke tube or smooth barrel and regular rifled slugs, use the same sight-in but hold right-on out to only 75 yards.[/align]Rifle: For woods and brush hunting, sight-in to be dead on at 50 or 100 yards. Either way, you'll be right on for any shot that you encounter. There's nothing like knowing exactly where that bullet is going in these situations. When longer shots are possible, sight-in to be 2 inches high (no more) at 100 yards. I don't care what caliber you're shooting, you'll be dead on at 200 to 230 yards with everything from a .270 Win. on up; that's plenty far.[/align]Muzzleloader: Use the shotgun guideline: 2 inches high at 50 yards. You'll be good out to 100, maybe beyond, but check first.[/align]

Get the thing laser boresighted first. I totally forgot about that. When we were having trouble sighting in our 870's with 20" rifled barrels and 1-4X scopes, we had them boresighted, which put us considerably closer to where we needed to be. It really saves your shoulder and wallet.

That is not acceptable to me, and should not be acceptableto any qualified hunterwho may have the possibility of taking such a shot.
