We are getting ready for hunting season again in Nashville. Many of you are excited about the opportunity to have some quiet time in the woods. Before you go out, make sure you have properly serviced your gun and gear.
Now is a great time to get your gun to your local smith for a little TLC. Scopes should be mounted now so you have plenty of time to zero them yourself. It is also a great time to get that accessory added that you have been putting off. We have been doing cleanings, recoil pad installs and setting up scopes.
Check your equipment. Not a bad idea to take your tree stand out to the back yard for a practice run. Make sure all your webbing and cables made it through storage without any damage. It’s also a good idea to get your gear properly washed and dried outside.
Spend a few minutes getting ready, and you will eliminate the chance that the big one will get away.
You couldn’t be more right. On a whim, I decided to to go check to make sure my scope was still sighted in for the upcoming season even though I didn’t even fire a shot last season (don’t get me started). Good thing I did. Apparently one of the mounts had worked it’s way a bit loose so it was about 4″ off at 100 yards. Got her reset and she’s ready to go. I would been one unhappy dude if I had taken her out without checking.
Glad you caught it before you missed a good one or worse injured an animal. We have such a responsibility to be good at what we do. It never hurts to check out everything one more time.
