[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4155851, member: 15054"] I do shotguns, rifles, pistols and muzzloaders all the same way. I shoot at 25 yards, 50 yards and 100yards or farther depending on the weapon and then see how the weapon groups. If I can keep it in a 4" group I am good. I expect much better though like 2" or better. If it gets larger than 4" group at longer ranges then longer range shots are not taken. Some say paper plate which is about 8".. that to me is just too large. I do not have to track deer or pigs I have shot. So get the ammo and paper out and see how accurate that weapon actually is and see how much drop it has at different distances. Yea your arm will be a bit tired but not as tired as you will be after tracking a bad shot deer for hours and miles. I have the drops on paper laminated to my stock on a couple rifles. When I hunted with smooth bore shotgun and slugs 85 yards was the max for decent group size. [/QUOTE]
