Two Guys Dive In at Bass Pro

While I’m not the smartest man alive I definitely do not recommend diving into the live fish tank at Bass Pro Shops.

While it may sound funny to think about doing this at Bass Pro Shops I sure hope those kids get into trouble and get caught.

Buckmasters Tip of the Week: Sighting In

Tip of the Week: Sighting In

It is absolutely necessary to sight in your deer rifle before you go hunting. You owe it to the deer to make certain your rifle shoots where you point it. Even if you just bought a rifle and the store bore-sighted the gun with a collimator, you still need to shoot it and fine-tune the point of impact. Bore-sighting can be precise and can make a rifle shoot close enough to hit a paper target at 25 yards, but it’s not meant to be a substitute for sighting in the rifle on a range.

Twenty-five yards is where you should start shooting when you take a new rifle to the range. You can get a friend to sight in your rifle for you, but I do not recommend doing so. You need to know how to make adjustments to your sights, no matter if you shoot a scope or open sights.

Buckmasters Tip of the Week: Ammunition

Tip of the Week: Ammunition

You should shoot a variety of ammunition from your rifle or shotgun to see which works best in your particular gun. Just because a particular brand and grain size works for your buddy doesn’t mean it will work well in your gun.

Once you have found a bullet design and brand that suits your style of hunting, make sure you sight in with the same brand, bullet design and bullet weight that you will be using when hunting. Changing any of those three variables can cause a shift in where your gun shoots.

Several companies now make premium ammunition, and it’s worth the added cost. In fact, premium ammo is the next best thing to hand-loading your own ammunition, which I don’t have the time or inclination to do.

It is particularly important for hunters who travel long distances to make sure they have at least two boxes of ammo with them. You never know when your rifle might take a lick that knocks it out of sync, and it might take several shots to get the rifle back to form. If you’re out hunting in the boonies, the local hardware store might not carry your brand of ammunition.

Some hunters prefer a fast, light bullet and others like a heavy bullet that moves a little slower. They will all take deer. For hunting mature bucks — deer heavier than 200 pounds — I’d recommend a minimum of 130-grain bullets. As long as you stick with a well-designed bullet and concentrate on making a good first shot, you won’t have many problems.
