You are not going to like it but it works not moving .

Needed to make the rear  sight higher was shooting low .

So I Just heat formed some plastic  cut a  notch in it at the proper height. Has no weight to it  so the recoil has no effect  that I can tell and I shot it over  30 times  to test it out and sight it in .

 

 

 

You taped a sight on?  Why not just shim your current sight?  If that is not possible, I would definitely have it professionally repaired.

The sight on the back of that shogun is just a notch on the gun  and for me it shoots low . So to ajust for that you need a higher one all I did was make a piece that lines up with that Notch just higher up get my drift .  

You're a riot, Storm!  You claim to have Weatherby's and then you hunt with an $89 shotgun!  LOL

He says the doe hold and bring bucks. 

Partially true, however too many doe can work against you. I kill a couple doe off 40 acres every year and i see more and more bucks.

When your doe to buck ratio is too high, the bucks don’t have to come because they barley move to find a doe.

Thats always been my feeling, if there are too many doe theres no seeking necessary

Ditch that sucker.  for $200 you can have a reliable single shot and another $100 for optics.  Why waste all that time hunting only to have an equipment issue when an opportunity finally comes along.

Wish there were doe here

I got other shotguns 

They don't weight 4 pounds that's why . 

As soon as I can find  a gunsmith its  getting  a upgrade for sure .

Actually first thing I did when I picked it up Is ask if they have a gunsmith at the store or if they knew one and they didn't .

I even contacted the manufacturer and ask them same answer they didn't know anybody unreal .

OK then I would lug around a few more pounds until that is fixed.  As I recall you said you were a big guy, I doubt you will even notice a few more lbs on a gun.  But its all your call.   I just know I would hate to have an equipment failure at the moment of truth and obviously a taped on sight is almost inviting that issue.

[Hunter007]

Tell you what moog let me hunt your  10,000 acres I  know you got up there,  you with your bow or crossbow and me with my 100 dollar shotgun and see who gets a deer first lol 

It's still a gun and out to 50 its dead on now  I could care less what you guys think about it the way it looks.

[Pygmy]

You just can't fix stupid.....<<sigh>>...

Usually I use a rem 1187  with factory iron sites but .

I'm sorry I love that 4 pound shotgun lol and now that its hitting where I'm shooting I like it even more. 

I'm more worried about seeing a deer to shot at right now to be honest.

Lol.   Uhhh no.   It’s obvious you know better than the rest here.  Stick with the taped on sight.  

[left field]

Man, sat this morning. Nothing. Sat this afternoon. Nothing. Beginning to think I totally suck at this. 
 

On another note, a neighbour - nice guy, Eastern European, barely speaks English - stopped by and while we were chatting offered to let me hunt his stands. I’ve never been on his property so wanted to check them out. As I walked up I noticed a lot of deer tracks in the snow. Came to the stand to see a salt block and auto feeder with corn everywhere. Second stand has the same set up. 

Really don’t know what to do. Don’t feel right about reporting him and not sure I want to confront him. Probably won’t see him again until the spring.

You hunt with a recurve right ?

And I'm crazy because I use a shotgun even a  cheap one no match 

I think I still have the advantage  .

Like I said got other shotguns. 

And I have no problem paying a gunsmith to put what I want on there just have not been able to find one around here I'm thinking I'm  going to go out to PA  to find one .

I learn the same lesson every time I engage Stormy.   Hopefully it sticks this time.

Nice guy , let you hunt his land , I’m not reporting him, but I may mention it to him next year . Plus maybe he doesn’t have room or time for a food plot .

Sounds great but I want either  iron sights  or  scope rail  18 inch barrel interchangeable chokes and only 4 pound that's a take down .  If you find one let me know.

Nice guy let’s you on his land? I definitely wouldn’t report him. He’s not hunting any more it sounds so have a conversation with him in the spring about it
