Shooting Report

I just noticed that I have not given a range report for my M-1903A3.

Fist sized groups at 100 yards off-hand. A bit right of center. Recoil is stout with the 180 gr rounds the range had for sale.

I've named her Catherine.

I took Dottie out too. This was her first range trip since putting the rifle stock on. Some 6.8 guns short stroke with the heavier rifle buffer, but not Dottie. The Medieval muzzle brake works pretty damn good, not too bad of a flash hider either.

The Lovely Harvey took her first shots with her carbine (see the link in my previous post).

We went with our friends Lenny and Laurie. Laurie is just learning to shoot, I am teaching her. She's doing quite well, if coming along a little slow. She's got some nerve damage in her right hand (and she's right handed) so she has to shoot lefty. She's had shoulder surgery on that side that makes that hand weak. I've got her doing some strengthening exercises and practicing the fundamentals.

Lenny is an 'expert'. He's also a very competitive person who has to be right in every discussion. Very illuminating to see what others doubtlessly see in me. If this is how I come across, I don't think I like me very much.

Much fun was had by all, though.
