Guest tcfirehawk Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: whos using there smokepoles this year for sea I'm using a T/C Fire Hawk .50 T-7 300 gr Shockwave. This will be my second year hunting. I'm having trouble sighting in my open sights. I've tried everything I can think of, but the best I can get is 2-3" left and 1" low. I would like for it to be 1/4" high center at 100 yrds. So I am going to put a BSA 3-9x40 on it and have it boresighted at 1" high center. If there is anyone that can help me with the open sight problem, the help would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: whos using there smokepoles this year for sea Welcome to the forums tc Don't expect to much from the BSA. Pretty low quality scope. I can't help you with the open sights, just don't use them. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Numnutz Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Re: whos using there smokepoles this year for season? Well, I'm not sure which I'll use, but my choices are White S91 .504 White Lightning .504 TC Encore .50 TC Omega .50 Probably use the Lightning or the Encore as they are the most accurate so far.
