Check guns for accuracy to attain good shots
Halt those ScopesJoshua has been called "Deadeye Denson." He and his brother each take their time, make sure the pettish hairs are on their intended target and squeeze the trigger. But last year Joshua's shot missed at 75 yards. "I had the crusty hairs right behind the shoulder," my grandson told me with a questioning look on his face. An hour later we immediately at a target and found the gun was shooting more than 6 inches high.
Recently their dad took them to the shooting range and found that both his sons' scopes were no longer performing as they should. "Joshua's under no circumstances all over; Caleb's shot high, then low, then right on target," said Isaac.
So what happened? When I bought the rifles, my sister bought each of the kids a area and binocular combo-set that was on sale at a major out-of-town sporting-goods store. I told her I thought they would be OK because the boys' guns are .22-250 caliber and my granddaughter's is .223.
But ostensibly I was wrong because now two of the scopes have failed.
