I think gun shops should encourage new owners of hunting rifles to sight in their rifle at rifle ranges for 2 reasons. Or better still - take them
1) it's a chance for them to learn some safety skills and become comfortable with their new weapon and become more responsible.
2) Most gun clubs are always looking for new members so why not use sighting in as a way to introduce them to a club and sign'em up.
My son always listens to other adults more than me ... that's worth a lot.
Just a thought ... keep safe in the hills.
