Range report (partially RTWT)

Early morning call to get to the range before everybody and their dog showed up. First time out with the 'Dragunov' and I was feeling my oats this morning. New rifles always make me a bit giddy at first. That initial break in where you and the rifle get to know each other in ways that can't be explained in words. LOL

Well at 9 A.M. I didn't get a whole lot of shooting done. Fact of the matter is that I didn't get much shooting done before 10:30. The sun was climbing over the berm and we couldn't see our targets AT ALL until it had gained some altitude. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stay much past 11 A.M. since I had promised my kid that I would watch Granbehbie while she went to school today.

Still I did get in some good shoot time. I started on the 100yd line and realized in about 5 rounds that I needed to move things to the 50 to get on paper. The scope was that far off. I didn't want to blow alot of rounds down range without a spotter. Cease fire and move my dope to the 50 yd range.


Here is where I used the Iron sights to get on paper to align the scope and at least get close.


Here are the first 10 rounds with the scope. You can see where I was walking the impact down from where it was hitting about 5" high and left. I ended up getting it in the 9 ring then moved to the 100 yard line.

Here is what I came up with there. I am not going to say much about it as at first I am not even sure I was on paper. I didn't get to dial it in all the way here as I ran out of time and had to pack it up. I will return soon and get this beastie dialed in the way I like. Having seen the grouping at 50 I KNOW I can make this rifle dance to my tune out to some Seriously long distances.


Now I don't normally post stupid (IMO) videos of myself but I had a request for a video of me shooting. I don't normally do video and don't even have a video editor on my PC so its rough. For those that don't know. I am VERY camera shy. I don't have that vanity in my life so any video of me is going to be quite short and you may not even see that much of me at all.



Political Front.

Not much that I want to cover here though I do want to show my motivating force against the forces of Socialism and those that would like to see the United States to become the Communist Republic of America.

I can't think of a better reason to fight for the Constitution and what this country is SUPPOSED to be.
