An Option!
More Bang for the Buck!
Using air rifles for small game hunting is becoming more and more popular each hunting season. These low caliber guns are useful for hunting small game like birds, foxes, rabbits and squirrels
There are different caliber air rifles for different uses. The .177 caliber is used mostly for target practice. Whereas, the .22 and .25 caliber weapons are more suited for hunting. The ideal hunting air rifle has the properties of providing 1000 feet per second velocity; an automatic cocking safety system and single shot.
Like their big brothers, there’s a full range of telescopes that will assist the firer during limited visibility and with shots at distant ranges. The operation of air rifles are comparatively easy and can lull the inexperienced hunter into a lack of hunting awareness and concentration. The same marksmanship techniques and principles apply as with larger caliber weapons – be aware of your surroundings and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
Operational Transition!
Shot Assurance!
Last year, I did not get a deer; had several shots but just couldn’t put it together. Of course, during the off-season, I had vast opportunities to give it a lot of thought, and decided that it was time for change. Even though difficult, I had to admit that my eyes are not what they used to be; and, at times, I found myself struggling to identify the target and line-up the shot.
In the past, I have been a die hard peep site user and prided myself at being able to hit a target, just as effective at 400 yards as anyone using a scope; but, now maybe it’s time to reconsider and make the transition to a scope. It should not only help with my shot accuracy but assist with target ID, and give me that needed 100% assurance that the target is a legal shot (proper game and correct gender).
I’ve been looking at a little 3 power scope; don’t want it so large that all you see is a massive blur at 50 yards. This is a good example of where “bigger” is not necessarily better. Choosing the right rifle scope for your particular hunting situation is critical and can be tedious; but, with proper research and expert advice, it can put you right back on top of your “shooting” game. Be Safe!
What’s Value?
Does It Do The Job?
A good friend of mine just bought a new scope for his Winchester 30-06 rifle. He was so exuberant when announcing that he got a real value – an $800 scope for $600. I thought long and hard about our friendship but couldn’t help myself. I responded by saying that price alone does not determine value, but rather getting the most out of the product for the price you’ve paid does.
If you can purchase non-named brand rifle scopes, with similar features for $250, did you get real value? Dollar for dollar, is the more expensive scope 2 or 3 times better than the cheaper one? Do you really need the best? Wouldn’t the lower priced scope have served your needs just as-well? – now that would have been real “Value”!
Rifle Scopes
Reduced Eye Strain!
Modern gun design is a benefit to many people, especially hunters. Today, hunters can obtain gun accessories that make shooting a target easier. Rifle scopes are a necessity for many hunters. Without rifle scopes many hunters wouldn’t have access to prey more than a few yards away.
Rifle scopes can reduce eye strain and allow for accurate target shooting. Scopes are easy to use because they are usually attached to a gun and don’t require additional packing space. They can be found in countless varieties. The scope you choose for your gun should depend on the prey you are hunting.
