Additionally, if youre planning on mounting an optic, they can serve nicely as a back-up.
Lets boil the process down to its most basic start big, close and stable.
Start Big
Ive been in situations where the targets on hand were the opposite of big.
Most often, its been a sheet of paper with a dot from a marker.
This is not the best-case scenario.
I prefer a big, fresh target when Im sighting in.
It doesnt have to be fancy.
Seeing a theme here?
Why do I want this?
It could even be a bunch of sheets of regular paper taped together and hung from an old backer.
You dont need fancy, just effective.
The key is to have plenty of room and a point of aim.
Start Close
This goes right along with starting big and for the very same reason.
Identifiable hits on paper early helps to ensure quick success.
Rounds that dont hit your target leave you wondering how to adjust your sights.
Start Stable
No one is a perfect shot.
It seems that when Im trying to sight in a rifle, my shooting degrades even more.
But, it isnt too hard to reduce the influence of my poor shooting.
I simply confirm that I have a stable platform to shoot from.
And the more stable, the better.
I have a bunch of generic sandbags I use to stabilize my photo gear.
Make it Easy
Sighting in my SAINT Victor was easy.
The characteristics of the rifle and the quality of the workmanship made it simple.
My three tips helped out as well.
Believe me, its worth it!
