Somebody in another thread wanted to know how to site-in a red dot scope.
This what I learned form experience and what I learned on other forums. I wanted to put a red dot style scope on my turkey gun. I started out with a 4x4 sheet of plywood and a 3x4 sheet of contents wrapping paper and moved the target out to 25yrds. I made a mark on the paper I stapled to the wood. I used the cheap shells to start, I think it was Winchester low brass #7. It's alot cheaper and easier on your shoulder I might add LOL.
I then took my first shot and made my adjustments, as I took shot's I changed the paper. This will allow you to see right where your hitting. Your pattern will be tight and the size of a baseball or softball.
I then made more adjustments and took more shots trying to get the red dot in the bulk of the pattern.
After I adjusted to the center of the bulk of the pattern I moved the target out to 30yrds, took more shots and adjusted to the bulk of the pattern. You may be hitting center or you may not, make your adjustments, change your paper make your mark on the paper. You moved out to 30yrds so your pattern may have moved but you should be really close and able to get close in a click.
Now that your really close or dead on, stick that beast from hell 3 1/2 turkey load in there and take your shot. Make any adjustments as before and fine tune it.
You should be good to go! You saved your shoulder and wallet alot of pain!
Good Luck!!
