[TheForge] Sighting in Rifles

[Jerry Smith]

Toni,

I have some nice semi autos, AR 15 National match and
a M1A. It may be fun to shoot those, but it's more fun
to watch the ground hog or coyote tumble up into the
air when you hit them.

For my hunting I prefer single shot pistols and have
one single shoot .223/5.56 carbine. In my area deer
hunting is restricted to shotguns, pistols and muzzle
loaders.

In the past I had a couple of rockin rollers, if you
did a long like 6 to 8 round spray, you didn't hit
much, maybe the next county.
