[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1285359, member: 7123"] Done done it, along with 3 centerfire rifles (for that season), several weeks back, in two range trips. Gotta have time to practice a lot with archery equipment. If I didn't archery hunt, likely I'd wait until October. But there's NO TIME in October as it stands now. So late August / early September at the latest. All of September to practice the bow & scout, practice the bow & scout (and now x-bow). Well that's one way - different strokes. There's less of a margin for error if (a) you're using iron sights, or (b) you didn't change anything from last year - same gun & same scope. And very little margin of error if both: iron sights on same sight setting, & with same gun (with same load). I'd do what you do if that were the case. Except I'd probably wait til the end of the last day of the first weekend to test instead of fouling my barrel on noon on the first day. And except I shoot at trees instead of dirt clods. I like to see how far stuff penetrates into large and small trees. :) As it stands, I play musical guns, musical scopes, and musical loads in a nearly-endless way, so off to the range I go - it's a real shame that I "have to" go to the range so much. :D [/QUOTE]
