First time shooting

Then.....

I got my groups "in the black." Now, I'll just need to tighten them up. Less than 1" at 25 yds. But, about 4.5" at 100 yds. Actually, I felt that was GTG for me and my old eyes.

Aloha, Mark

4.5 at 100 yards is very realistic for a battle rifle like the Mosin. Sounds like you had a successful day at the range.

Now, the obligitory for you and the OP!

Sorry, no rifle pics. It's just an ordinary 91/30 rifle. But, here is the target picture.



The shots were taken off of the bench, with my rifle resting on sandbags. The range won't allow me shoot from "positions" because I don't have their permission/clearance. It's a MR-31c target. The sight picture is that of what a 600 yd black bull's eye would look like at 100 yds. Scoring rings are sized so that one could practice the National Match Course at the reduced range of 100 yds.

Well....not exactly. But, close enough.

And YES, it's possible to shoot under 1" groups at 25 yds with iron sights.



This was shot off the bench with a TULA 91/30.
