It drives me crazy when people sight in the day or two before gun opener and the gun hasn't left the safe in a year. I belong to a local hunt club and like clockwork the week before opening day everyone and their buddies are down there slinging 50rounds at 25yards, 50yrds, 75-100yards. Last year one guy showed up two days before with an ithica deerslayer and about 10 packs of lead rifled slugs and a tasco scope and couldn't figure out why at 50yards he couldn't hit a pie plate. Myself and several others told him to try sabot slugs instead and he says they are too expensive. You have a $800 slug gun and cant afford $20 for sabots? He ended up saying screw it ill use my 270. Um we are in Ohio 270 isn't legal. He gave us a dirty look and said he didn't care.
Walmart was packed for license and tags, guys at the range yesterday wanting to shoot a muzzleloader from 25-100yards and bringing friends too. I'm dreading this weekend when I go double check my stuff and Monday is opening day. The worst one I seen was dicks sporting good 2 days before opening day a guy buys a slug gun, box of shells, scope mounted, tag and license. I like having all my stuff done weeks before but always check it day before due to having a scope failure on opening day resulting in a wounded deer.
I'm not complaining just don't understand the lack of care because guys think oh its a gun I just hit them anywhere and they die.
