To put it mildly. :grin:

If you read the parts of his blog that I omitted, he muttered quite a bit about "sportsmen" who show up once a year for the free sighting-in day right before deer season.

Here's a cautionary tale about boresighting:

It got even more crowded than that later, you can see at least one empty lane on the far end, with a stool upended on the bench.

One of these folks was using a laser boresighter, the type that plugs into the barrel, then projects a laser dot on the target, which you then adjust your scope to match, before continuing to sight-in normally.

This shooter forgot to remove the boresighter. And I brought my camera.

There were no injuries. The boresighter was found most of the way to the 100yd target holders. These pictures are being sent to several appropriate persons - the club's newsletter director, R/O director, club president, etc. The weapon was a fairly ordinary Savage, and I believe it was in .30-06 or a related cartridge. It is hoped that the barrel will be purchased for or donated to the club's hunter education program. Pay attention folks!
