sighting a new scope in 2 shots

This is the time of the year alot of people will buy a new scope and blow alot of money and ammo trying to sight a new scope.
 My way will let you fire 2 shots and get it in the bullseye.
First we will be talking about a bolt action rifle or any rifle that you can see thru the bore..
This is done at a distance of 25 yards
    The first thing you will need is one of those mounts that you can lay your rifle in because you can not hold it still enough even with sandbags..I;m to cheap to spend alot of money on one so I looked in a catalog and made mine out of wood.I made sure and went a little extra and put felcro straps to hold front of gun down and felcro straps on butt.Best thing I ever did.Took the recoil completly away..
    OK now you have the rifle down tight so take the bolt out  look thru the barrel and move the rifle till you see your target paper bullseye.This is what they call boresighting .Personally I use a white paper plate and draw a bulleye in it.--Now that you see the target peek up and see where the scope is looking.
  Very carefully adjust the cross hairs until it looks on target.
Now if you have done it right you can fire your first shot and it should at least hit the paper plate or whatever you choose.
   OK the first shot barely hits the paper lets say 6 inches high and 4 inches right.
Whoa you say not even close...don;t worry you are fine.
  Now again put those cross hairs exactly where you had them the first shot.
Do you see where the first shot hit ---I am sure you do.
Now very carefully without touching the rifle crank those adjustments up to where the shot hit and then over to dead on that bullet hole
If you did it right- then now aim the rifle for the bullseye and shoot your second shot and you will be right on the bullseye or very close.Look how much ammo is saved.Now maybe 1 or2 shots to fine tune it. That gismo that holds your rifle is the key to a really straight shootin gun..
  You may want to get a big piece of cardboard to put your target on and even if you miss it by a foot as long as you can see the bullet hole this will still work.
   Now I will say it again .You want to do this at a distance of 25 yards.This will put most high powered rifles 1 inch high at 100 yards..

September the month of change

I think of all the months in the year September has the biggest change of all..The walnut trees start losing their leaves.The gardens are just about worn out..My Grey foxes have their gorgeous winter coats and their puppies are so big I have a hard time telling them apart from their parents and I can hardly keep up with the feed..This years fawns have lost their spots with the exception of a very old doe who had 4 fawns the first week of August (unbelievable).I hope they get big enough before the cold weather comes..and my favorite time-the bucks have all rubbed their antlers clean and the rut is on.Now like every year my local bucks will disappear and when it comes time for me to find one I will probably shoot one I have never seen before.After the slaughter 2 and 3 years ago it will take awhile to get things back if ever..The game cameras have only shown 2 nice bucks but it was a night time picture.Never seen them in the daylight..The interesting part is I have relatives and friends in New York-Idaho and Washington and the bucks there have also rubbed.Kind of destroys the bullshit I have read about the bucks down south like here shed later..I also have a friend in Alaska but she will not set foot in the woods so I have asked her to contact someone to see if they rubbed there too.
 Now about 10 years ago I had friend in Texas and he said when I called the deer had also rubbed so what can I say.
  Now do not tell anyone especially the MDC that again the peak of the rut will be the week of the full moon in October..
    Now I know alot of guys and a few gals are putting on new scopes or sighting in the old one so I will tell you next time how to sight your scope in 2 shots to hit the target guaranteed..
