Continuing my sacred duty: Previous converting thread, I managed to take another girl shooting, this time a friend of family. Well, she bugged me to take her out, so back to same range it is.
I did find out that M14 and G22 will fit into general issue military rucksack, along with ammo.
Anyway, this is our range, again:
The rusty can lower right is 50m, first target 100m, next ones 300 and 400 and back wall 560m. And many patches of water here&there.
We got there with this thing (same truck as in the beforementioned thread):
Getting to the range was interesting, as the truck had to show what it's capable of several times:
She actually liked the bumpy ride, when it was over it was sad face all over: what? no joyride?
But it was just the beginning. It was around 0 C, so the camera took it pretty hard, resulting in less photos than previous time. But there were plenty of weapons around.
After the G22 was zeroed for 100m it was all set and ready, she did pretty well, later hunting bottle caps at 50m. Pretty good stance, coat that made her hard to see from the target, almost like a pro.
The G3, keeping the post up, was a pretty interesting piece, suppressed as you see. We shot the h€ll out of it, single shots and usually bursts, for fun,
I deliberately gave her few mags to dump in FA mode, for "life isn't Hollywood, ya know" effect. She did Hollywood allright, shot it from the hip, emptying the mag in a hurry. I still kick myself I didn't take the pic of it. It was quite a sight.
As she wasn't used to shoot the centerfire rifles she found the G3 and M14 to be heavy, but when shooting prone supported she did OK.
What can I say, I'm kind of leaned towards the M14 platform I actually like this pic, kind of "mess with me, and smilie face goes to warface".
To be continued....
