point your rifle at the target then look through your scope

I do....I have a terrible time finding my target through a scope. Two eyes open to get on target. Then close the one eye.

Hmmm....go on....I'm listening.... I'm by no means a gun expert. I just grab it and shoot. A scope like this IMO is a perfect for a deer gun... https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-crossfire-ii-2-7x32-rifle-scope.html Terrific eye relief, wide field of view, and more than enough magnification for typical deer ranges. I have seen so many people become so much better with a scope when they switched to this one. My boy uses it on his .350 legend, .44 mag lever gun, as well his .17HMR for coon calling. Quick target acquisition, and fast shooting when needed.

I do....I have a terrible time finding my target through a scope. I was taught to look just over the scope, find your target, drop your eyesight into the scope. And shoot!

Do peep sights count? I like my peep sights, the buckhorns not so much anymore.

the slug gun I use while I am doing deer drives , shooting fast at generally short range has Irons.
I hunted a lot of years and shot a lot of deer with a bead at the end of the barrel has some issues with that when I got glasses 15 years ago.not sure why as I hit clay birds fine now it took some time to get used to it.got my first pair of glasses however the week before deer season that might have been part of the problem.
all my hunting guns with scopes have 2-7x32 nikon or votex they stay on 2x 98% of the time if I turn up the power either I am threading the needle or shooting over 125 yards on a slow calm deer.

I do....I have a terrible time finding my target through a scope. If the scope is fitted to you properly this shouldn’t be a problem. Spend some time with it. While watching TV grab the rifle, throw it up and find your target. With MINIMAL practice the rifle becomes an extension on your hand.
I have nothing clever to put here.
