Did you ever have an "OH CRAP" moment?

Speck Jr. comes home last night and asks, "Hey Pa, are we going black powder huntin this weekend?" To which I reply "Sure, sounds like fun." I then recall Santa bringing me a set of fiber optic sights for my muzzle loader last Christmas. Can't wait to try them out. Then it hits me. OH CRAP, I havent sighted them in yet and the season starts Saturday. When I installed them last year, I remember roughly trying to bore sight them but dont remember shooting them in. I rushed home from work, grabbed the rifle out of the safe and headed to the woods behind the shop. Hung a target and stepped off 10 yards. Dang these sights show up good. BANG. about 1 inch left of center. Not bad says I. Stepped off 50 yards. Reloaded. BANG.Still about 1 1/2 inchs left of center. Good Enough!:) I just keep thinking what would have happened Saturday if buckzilla walked in front of me only for me to realize these sights havnet been sighted in yet.:eek::o

I would say 1 1/2 " left, he would've been sausage!

MMMMMMMMMMM, deer sausage.

just remember to aim 1 1/2 to the right for dead on at 100.

Sounds like sausage to me! Good luck this weekend.

Wound up working Saturday. Gotta make hay while the sun shines. Didn't even hunt.:mad: Hopefully, we are going at 0 dark thirty Christmas Day.:) It will be the next time Speck Jr. and I are both off.

That's tough, but think of the money you made. :D I sent you a pm, unanswered, last night. I guess you're not going hunting with us 12 hours ago? :D :D You didn't miss anything...

I got your message this morning Brad. Sorry I didn't get it sooner. I could have gone today. Any ducks flying this weekend? The weather was right.
