Thread: Sighting in your hunting rifle

If you’re not sure about range estimation either don’t take the shot or fecking get closer. It’s not as if hunting isn’t the easiest it’s been for years now due to animal numbers.

Ha ha I always laugh when journalists refer to someone shot at "point blank range" with the journo having absolutely no idea what point blank range actually is. Sounds good to the readers/viewers though so that's all that matters I guess.
