Guest antlers21 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I am a bowhunter who is new to muzzleloading. I bought a TC encore and have a shooting question. When I am shooting how do I line up the sites? The rear sight has 2 fiber optics and 1 on the front, do I take a fine bead at the botton of the groove or do you line up the front and rear sight so all three are straight across? Please let me know what you guys do because I am going to shoot and sight in my encore this next weekend. Thanks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: shooting question????? I shoot open sights, with all 3 points straight across. When Aiming, I have the area i want to hit, or the bullseye of the target so it looks like it is sitting on top of the front bead. honestly, I think any sight picture you scoose will work as long as you use it consistently. Are you allowed to scope a ml'er where you hunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaDeRonDa Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: shooting question????? I do know many guys that use the same method as Tedicast but I use a different method. I place all site beads in a horizontal plane yet I place the center bead just below the precise area I want the bullet to strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MZ_shooter Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: shooting question????? Very much like a bow, how its done doesn't matter as much as doing it the same way shot after shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practice throwing the gun up fast and see which is better for quick shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, put the red dot where you want the bulllet to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
