Until this afternoon I'd never fired an AR in my life.
Range report:
Learned a LOT today, so here goes in no particular order of significance:
1. I need more money cause I want to shoot 1,000's of round through this gun! MAJOR fun to shoot. I can see myself shooting 500 rounds a weekend, easily. Hmm...on a monthly basis that's a car payment.
2. Wind gusting to 30mph can have a significant effect on 50 yd. accuracy.
3. $30 optics can work better than my ability to shoot through them. The cheap red/green dot worked just fine at 50yds.
4. DO NOT forget to bring everything on your range check list...like...the CLEANING ROD someone on the Forum TOLD you to bring.
Which brings us to:
5. Wolf steel ammo may fail to extract. If it does, you will need the cleaning rod WHICH YOU DON'T WANT TO FORGET AND LEAVE ON THE WORKBENCH.
6. Buy better ammo and more of it cause you're gonna shoot this gun A LOT!
7. I need to thank the Forum for providing plenty of "pre-range" info so I didn't spin out of control when a couple dozen Wolves stayed in the hole.
My "groups" were more like friendly "gatherings" first time out, but there's no question this gun will shoot WAY more accurately than I'm able to shoot today.
But there's always tomorrow and MORE ammo, right?
