  1. Wow. Much safer into the bank of a dam, than with the bush and trees behind the target. Why? A person might be behind in the bushes, trespasser or not, they are still at risk of being killed or injured.

  2. Hi Larry I have a ar 15 223 55.6 I'm having problems w it I have put 3 new scoops on it at 100 yards it is dead on you can hit a dim w it but at 200 Or 250 it is off by 10 inc or a 12 to the right I don't no w to do do you thank I need to get a new barrel for it if you can lmn sap thank you

  3. I’ve been using this same method for quite a while now. This is one of the BEST and quickest methods there is for sighting in your rifles! It will save you MONEY too! Using this method in combination with a good bench rest, will get you perfectly sighted in, in no more than 4 to 5 shots. It’s a whole lot less expensive than going through a box and a half of rounds!!

  4. Mr.Potterfield my boyfriend has some bullet molds for his 30-30 and 45 acp on order and is driving me crazy about reloading his own cast bullets and it being more cost effective instead of paying a ridiculous amount of money for precast bullet tips at stores

  5. If you do like him and put the crosshairs on the bullseye then adjust the scope up to the bullet hole the gun will be shooting twice as high as it was to start with. You should put crosshairs on bullet hole then adjust them down to the crosshair. I dont see how he thinks if the gun is shooting high and you move the crosshairs even higher that it would be correct. Maybe he made a mistake.
