I have 9 different rifles that I have to sight in/check before the season. I also need to put burlap around a stand and replace a ladder stand.

I had everything ready this summer. About 2 weeks ago I decided Warne rings weren’t for me and replaced about 4 sets with Burris signature’s. So now I have to go re-zero all those rifles. Other than that i just need to cut some limbs and check for wasp nests.

I normally I take my main rifle out and shoot five shots ... Each shot on a different day ... Hanging the same target each day ... I want to know where my cold bore shots are going ... Not overly concerned about where any shots after "that one cold shot" go .... this is my hunting rifle ... not a target rifle ...

Also helps that I can walk 40 yards out the back door to my range ...

Shot my .300blk a good bit this summer, and plan to hunt with it a fair amount, shot my hvy brl .308 also during the summer, and will probably shoot both muzzleloader weekend before I come home. Need to replace the ladder on my tower stand this weekend, and put up some new camo material around another box stand, then I'm good to go.

I'm getting excited! won't be long.

I've got a few new guns sighted in and ready to roll. Just need to check guns from last season. Working up a load for another. A few limbs to trim and brush up the camo around one stand and I'll be done.

Just put a 1-4 on an AR, the 6yo is ready to kill a deer, he did pretty good out to 100 yd with a red dot at the range, but a felt a scope would be better. Not gonna let him shoot past 50 unless its a pig.

Finally found a few hours where I could do some shooting. Got them all sighted in, now just need to sit back down at the reloading press a few nights this week.

I just need to find a place to shoot past 100 yards near Warner Robins. I prefer a 200 yard zero for my hunting rifles and moved some scopes around but need to zero.
