Special attention should be given to cleaning the bore and making sure the action works smoothly, said Glen H. Hetzel, a faculty member in Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He also advocated “sighting in” rifles and handguns carefully.
"Even if the hunter feels sure that a gun has not been bumped or jarred since the last firing, it is a good policy to double check,” Hetzel said. “This will not only prevent disappointment over a missed shot but will also get the shooter used to the ‘feel’ of his weapon again."
Center-fire rifles should be sighted in using the bullet weights and powder charges which the hunter expects to use in the field. Sighting distances are determined by the type of game to be hunted and the terrain where the hunt takes place. As a rule of thumb, shot groupings from 50, 100 and 200 yards will prepare the hunter for most situations, notes Hetzel.
"The good hunter does not fire one or two rounds and decide that he and his rifle are ready to go." he said. “The expense of firing a box or two of ammunition while sighting a rifle in is easily justified by the confidence the hunter will gain in his weapon and his shooting ability."
Handgun buffs should also spend some time “burning powder" on the range before taking to the field. Generally speaking, handguns should be sighted in for distances up to 60 yards. It takes a dedicated pistol shot to be consistently accurate at greater distances.
