Sights Hunt at Ron’s Guide Service January 2007
By Steve
Langford
On the morning
of 16th January 2007, 8 hunters from Millett Sights, a California
based scope and mount company visited Ron’s Guide Service
in Okeechobee, FL for a hog hunt to test the new model scopes.
We were guided by one of Ron's most capable and courteous young
man.
First up
to hunt after we were all loaded up on swamp buggy, was Jim Millett
the President of Millett Sights using the new ZOOM DOT red dot
scope, mounted on a S&W 500 mag handgun. Not long after starting
to hunt, we spotted our prey. As several hogs ran out of the brush,
Jim took aim at the running lead hog. Just as the pig went into
the brush there was a report of Jims hand cannon. We lost track
of the pig as it charged back into the heavy brush. We were loaded
on the buggy that went around the corner and there we saw the
hogs on the trail. One more quick shot by Jim and the first pig
was ready for the hunter photos.

Next up
was Big Steve from Pennsylvania using a 45 auto pistol he harvested
a nice pig at 30 yards in the heavy brush. He finished the pig
off with a fast cut to its neck with a 5 inch knife. He had a
great time and is looking forward to the next hunt.
In line
for the next pig was JL, Millett’s Project Manager to test
the new DMS-1 circle dot 1x4 scope. It was not long before Jorge
had a hog running in the open area and JL made one perfect shot
at 50 yards at the running pig. One shot, one dead hog. JL affirmed
that all the sights’ features worked . Both design and accuracy
of the scope contributed to the ease of making a hard running
shot.
JL’s
quick shot took this porky pig at 50 yards on the run using the
new Millett DMS-1 scope.
The next
shooter was Art, a good friend from New Mexico using a 45 ACP
pistol. Ron’s dogs were trained to bay the hog and Art dispatched
the pig in short order.
What could
go wrong on a perfect day for hunting when we were all on the
swamp buggy not too hot, no bugs and with 8 shooters rearing to
fire at their first prey in sight.
The excitement
is priceless.
Millett’s
Production Supervisor, Marcello chose a 45 pistol for a weapon,
loaded with premium ammo and backed with a knife, he took a nice
hog. A knife can be an essential and exciting finisher to a good
hunt.
I was next
in line to try my hand on hog hunting. It was not long before
we had some pigs on the run out on the open area, using the DMS
-1 scope on the 223 I rifle, I took a lead on the largest one
and fired. I did not estimate the true speed of the fast running
pig and hit further back than I would have liked, but with a quick
follow up shot, the hog was in the bag. A fun and challenging
hunt.
The day
was a great harvest of 9 hogs from 8 shooters, lots of fun and
good credits on the datas of the new scopes. Ron’s guide
service took good care of us and made sure that everyone had a
wonderful time. Our guide was an expert in his field and did a
great job assisting the shooters get their game. We will come
back some time soon to repeat this fun and exciting experience.
Ron , thanks from all the guys at Millett Sights.
