until then
Until you get some type of sights or a scope, you are not "sighting in" anything, you are experimenting to see if the gun shoots to point of aim w/ the bead, and how far you can consistently hit a vital zone sized target, say a 9" paper plate.
If you are able to do that w/ just a bead to 50 yds, you are fortunate indeed.
There are a number of saddle type mounts for shotguns that allow the mounting of a low power scope, or maybe a dot sight. Until then you are not fully exploiting the gun's potential, just realizing your limitations.
I am against buck as a general rule for deer, as the range is to limited, but folks tend to wang away at 'em anyhow, resulting in cripples or an animal bayed up by hounds if dog hunting.
