Thread: Red dot for hunting

Use one on Boar in France aimpont. The range is all within 50yards. On running targets I found you need to keep both eyes open.
For boar sighting and firing I start at the the nuts and come through and touch off the round at the neck. If you shotgun it you will miss in front! Did this on the running boar targets and always shot in front when trying to shoot it with a shotgun style. The nuts to neck is a very small movement and of around 50cm and works really well as your quartering up through the body. Takes you around 50 round to perfect but once you have it down pat you will improve your ratios. Running Boar I’d like to set up one of these back home in NZ. Getting the bugger to run right is quite the challenge for those of an engineering background. But that’s for another thread.

Thought of taking one to Stewart Island this year, but think a scope will be better for threading shots through all those branches and identification in the thick stuff. Last time at port adventure on a very wet day I managed to take a nice hind when all I saw was a nostril and an ear at 3 meters. Not sure if a red dot site with zero magnifying would be able to help in this type of situation.
For open stuff with clear identification then year wicked.
