My first memory of hunting was with my father hunting for tree rats.We both had .22's withiron. It was in my back yard. lol I was onlyaround 7 or 8 and king of the forrest. Anywho, I moved to a 30-30 for deer and killed my first doe with it off iron. Itnot onlytaught me how to shoot but how to get close to the animal (under 50 yards) without spooking them. Now I have a .308 with a 6.5x20x50 scope that I use for hunting fields and powerlines but if I'm in the woods I still reach for the 30-30 first. Iron sights are like stick shifts once you learn them you'll never have a problem with anything else. Check out this book The Hunter's Guide To Accurate Shooting by Wayne Van Zwoll. It will tell you everything you need to know about aiming.

i was talking too the father in law and he has a 30-30 bolt that has been handed down generation too generation and asked me if my son would use it for his fisrt hunt. I said it would be a honor. it is a savage bolt with open sights.
