sighting in slug gun w/ scope

[Lostbay]

I should remember this but seem to forget every year. I have an 1187 with a rifled barel and a Cabela's (pine ridge) red dot scope. When I sight it in and it shoots left...Does that mean I adjust to the left on the dial or to the right. My intuition tells me to adjust to the right, but for some reason I think you turn the adjustment to the same direction your off. I'm assuming the same holds for up vs. down. thanks.

Not to get to far off subject but what year you graduate NP trojan I did form Np in 08

Oh ya and my bushnell scopes tells me what direction to turn the dial

[picksbigwagon]

Most scopes the left arrow means you want the scope retical to move left, so if your impact is left of where you are aiming, turn the dial left.

All my scopes you turn them the direction you want the bullet to move.

okay, now I am confused......I am trying to remember how I last sighted in my last scope......this will keep my up for a while tonight

[Archerysniper]

Picks with a bow you move your sights to where the arrow is hitting or follow the arrow. With a scope they are made too turn them where you want the bullet to go.

I don't own a bow, so I have no idea what I am thinking right now

For scopes, move the reticle to bullet POI.

Thanks for the help, it seems we have conflicting ideas. The problem is that I can talk myself into either side sounding correct. If only rifled slugs were much cheaper it wouldn't matter much. Is there anyone who is certain if I turn the adjustment where I want the slug to go on the target or to the same direction it is off the mark? Thanks again.

Have you called cabelas and talked with someone at the gun counter? Might help you out and be a lot cheaper than "Bang" - 3 bucks, "bang"-3 bucks..............been there and done that

set the gun on a rest and move your crosshairs while watching through the scope, easy and effective. Shoot a 3 shot group with the crosshairs on the bullseye(get a good group), set the gun up in the rest and move the crosshairs to the to the group. Re-shoot until satisfied, won't take much from there.
