Sunday evening I decided to take the evening off of hunting and try and get sighted in for the upcoming gun season that will start here on Thursday, the 15th.  I am pretty confident with the gun but wanted to make sure that everything was how it was suppose to be and time is definitely running out.

It was pretty much a family affair since my wife, brother, cousin, and Dad all got in on the sighting in action.  I shoot a Remington 870 12ga. with Brenneke Rottweiler slugs.  I was shooting free hand at 50 yards with the wind and still manged to shoot pretty good.  I was pretty happy with the results and can’t wait for opening day.  I love my “trench gun” as I affectionately refer to it.  It has been with me on many a hunting trip and has killed many a different animal.

The Mrs. also got into the action.  One shot you see is free hand from 30 yds and the other is free hand from 50yds.  I think she is pretty much ready for opening day as well. 

I know we could reach out a little farther with a slug gun and rifled barrel, but too be honest we are very comfortable with our guns at this point in time, and in the area we hunt a shot longer than 50 yds is hard to find.  It is so thick.

All in all a good day of shooting and Thursday morning we will be ready to rock and roll!
