I used to shoot High Power and the bulls for that discipline are in 6" increments; that is 6" @ 100 yds., 12" @ 200, and ultimately 36" @ 600, all of which make for a consistent sight picture. So, I like 6" centers.Originally Posted by Kev18

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.

OK, thanks.
After a rifle is zeroed, I practice using reality...….
I cut deer vital area sized 12"x18" ovals out of (free) cardboard brown boxes/cartons, attach of them each to a stake, then set the stakes out at typical/random "hunting" ranges (25yds, 50yds, 75-100yds, 150yds, etc)
Most of the time I face away from the "target", before rapidly turning & firing to simulate suddenly-presented game shots.
.
Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
Makes sense. Il try that. I have a life size deer decoy thats made for archery. I used it for a few shots. Now it has a few holes... bad idea.
The old adage of using a 8" or 9" paper plate is spot on for an actual apx size. For myself I use a 6" target to judge max distance. This gives been a little margin for error. I wounded a buck in 1971 with a bow. That was the first deer I shot. Didn't like the feeling. In the years since I have lost one with the rifle. That is at total of two lost with about 60 taken the bow and 150 plus with a rifle or handgun.
The pics below are from one of my bow kills. Field dress weight was 156 and it scored 126. The reason I took the pics is a coworker was claiming 18" behind the should was still a solid lung shot.

Can't get any better then those pics. Thanks
I think both Marbles and Williams still make folding leaf bbl sights.
And take the instructions to the Range with you.
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.
