Had a great Veterans Day. Went to Stoney Creek, checked my site ins on my 2 deer rifles then proceeded to get my Smith 629 .44 Mag 6" and Smith 460 XVR 8-3/8" both sited in at 100 yds. They were recently sited in for 50 yds. The 44 mag is just about 1/2" right of the bull at 100 and the 460 is about 1 - 1 1/2" high at 100 yds which should put it about dead on at 130 - 140 yds....further than I could comfortably shoot even with a 2-8x Nikon scope on it. frankly I would be unlikely to take a shot even at 100 yds without a decent rest and the rest would have to be super solid to take a shot beyond that. My longest 'shooting lane' from my stand is a max of 120 yds anyway.
Also helped my brother get his Marlin 30-30 sight in after an ammo change and another buddy brought a couple guns to shoot including his Glock and his semi-auto Tommy gun. Shot my T/C Contender (scoped as well - the old eyes ain't what they used to be!) with the .223 barrel on it dusting quite a few clays set up in the banks at both 50 and 100 yds.
Ended up stopping by Scott's to see what's new in the shop and to BS with Sharkey and the 2 Larry's a little.
Still had time to finish winterizing the camper before night fall (freezing temps are coming!). A fantastic day.
