Hunting Season is here and it’s time to sight in your guns
This is usually the time of year that I avoid gun clubs becaues the season shooters usually show up around now and sight in their guns for deer season. In Pennsylvania it’s almost time to put your crossbow down and pick up a rifle. They have recently opened up many areas of the State to hunting with crossbows because firearms are too dangerous in the highly populated suburbs but but archery is something for those in better health and strength than others. Crossbows do not take as much energy up as compound bows and many people with disabilities are actually taking advantage of the new rules and getting out for deer season. Some crossbows now have really good sights and optics on them and you can even see that Trijicon has some nice sights and mounts for them.
Trying to find a good gun club or gun range that will allow you to sight in your gun for 100yds, sight in your crossbow and maybe shoot archery is hard. Many people looking for a gun club listings in your State have a hard time getting email addresses or phone numbers to even get information. Some gun clubs want to be off the radar but this actually hurts them in the long run when long time members die off and nobody even knows how to join up. We’re doing some work to the website but trying to do more than just talk about guns and tactical gear and get information out to people with feedback about gun range conditions and options.
Sometimes knowing what you’re load is isn’t enough to get you on paper and 600-1000yds. Paying attention to crosswinds and terrain will give you that extra improvement to avoid misses. Its not about just bullet drop at those distances, knowing when to pull the trigger and paying attention to your target is what makes you an expert.
