Outdoor Writer Report post Posted January 25, 2008 A fairly new member would probably have a few observations when visiting here and would conclude the following after asking a simple question such as, "How many forum members does it takes to sight in a riflel?" -TONY 1 to sight it and to post that the rifle is now zeroed. 14 to share similar experiences of sighting in their rifles and how the one forum member could have done his differently 7 to caution about the dangers of sighting in a rifle 1 to move the thread to the Political section 2 to argue, then move it to the deer hunting section 7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about sighting in rifles 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "sighting in" or "zeroing in" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "sighting" 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "sighting in" is perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about rifles, so to please take this discussion to the right forum 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use rifles and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum 36 to debate which method of sighting in rifles is superior, where to buy the best targets, what brand of target works best for this technique and what brands are faulty 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different targets 4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes targets relevant to this group 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the controversy on guns 4 members to accuse 1 member of being a troll and for posting under 5 different names. 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "do a Google search on rifles before posting questions about sighting in" 1 to tell everyone it's all about the game department wanting more money if you decide to go to the Ben Avery range. 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

jamaro Report post Posted January 25, 2008 that is too funny... but at some point the Rifle needs to end up in the classifieds and then some needs to rip him/her for the gun being to expensive because they know a friend of a friend who is selling a new one for half the price....

Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 26, 2008 Did we ever get Devin sighted in? Just want to bring this back to our attention. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...?showtopic=5956 Tony, I see you corrected your spelling of politicaL There is a proper forum for "rifles, reloading and gunsmithing" to post this in, cuz nothing is mentioned about hunting coues with a rifle in this "proper way to sight a rifle" There are plenty of target faces to choose from here: http://www.mytargets.com/ http://www.targetz.com/index.htm including one for Tony's screen icon http://www.targetz.com/targetz-lib/20015.pdf An article on how to sight in a rifle by an authority http://www.chuckhawks.com/sight-in_rifle.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobbyo Report post Posted January 26, 2008 Did we ever get Devin sighted in? Just want to bring this back to our attention. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...?showtopic=5956 Thanks Tony and Red Rabbit for reminding me not to get involved in these discussions again. You are not going to learn how to sight in from a computer discussion forum as Tony so aptly illustrated. Devin did not get sighted in with any of our help. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...amp;#entry77828 But he did harvest a nice buck. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...amp;#entry83570. So he either borrowed a rifle or finally did the right thing and only listened to my advice . Now what is the best caliber for Coues again? Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
