...and I have to say I have a profound respect for soldiers back in the day. I went to East Elgin today in -12 temps. I didn't realize the London/St. Thomas area got buried in snow during the week. So the range was full of snow, and the 85 metre range I went to had a lazy dumba$$ leave all his/her brass that I had to clean up before I can start. Anyway, enough of that. I brought 100 rounds with me and the first 60 or so rounds (at 25m) I noticed my shots were low. DUHHHHH....took a while to kick in for me to adjust my rear sights. The other 40 rounds I spent with the targets at 50m. I spent about half the time sitting down with a bench rest, the other half I spent shooting standing up. Either way, I'm surprised the Russkies ever managed to kill a German back in WWII with very poor iron sights. My next visit, I'm going to stretch my legs and go 100m, and then eventually do 300m at some point. Here is a pic of my 3rd and 4th targets. The 1st and 2nd were all low shots. The elevation seems good to me, but the windage could use some slight adjustment.
Still debating whether I should upgrade the sights for some cheap chinese scopes (I don't need anything fancy just better eye relief than the iron sights) or leave it stock. But I'm definitely upgrading the recoil pad. After 100 rounds, my shoulder was a bit sore, but I still wanted to shoot though. My mosin and ammo were provided by Bullseye Sports in case you guys are wondering.
PS: Picked up my CZ Shadow on the way back home. So it was a good day today.
