Re: Sight in distance for dangerous game rifle

My drill with my .458 Winchester was to shoot 2-3 shots off a rest at a 100 yard target, then run to the 100 yard backstop and back, then do 2 shots at a 50 yard target from a position or braced up against something, then I would do 2 quick shots at a 25 yard target standing, unsupported. I screwed up the 25 yard standing shot the most. The purpose of this drill was to learn to shoot this big bore when the blood was pumping. The result: a 1 shot kill on a Cape buffalo.
It is this sort of "gaming" {skill-building} with the rifle that will trump small variations in bench zeroing every time.
Bravo, Albertan!
