I just can't shoot at 100yds

[TonyDedo]

What is the correct answer to this question? In other words, at 100 yrds with iron sights, should I be focussing on the target or the front sight? The answer tot his almost certainly will help me too.

Your focus should always been on the front sight. Here's a brief rundown of the proper steps to firing a shot:

1 - sight alignment: alight your front and rear sights
2 - sight picture: place your front sight on the target.
3 - breath control: pick a point in your breath pattern (usually at the top or bottom) to hold your breath
4 - focus on front sight: front sight should be crisp and clear, target should be blury
5 - proper trigger pull (squeeze): most important step, gentle, consistent squeeze, the break should surprise you
6 - follow through: don't reset the trigger until the shot is off, note where your front sight goes when the gun fires, call your shot

Yes, sorry I didn't credit that, but those six steps are taken right off the Appleseed curriculum.

It's all good. It's still good advice.

Everyone has already mentioned all the helpful tips I can think of, so I thought i might throw in something about the m44. Besides its intended purpose of not being a sub-moa rifle, I believe I read that it is more accurate with the bayonet extended. Without this, the shots are suppose to pull to one direction slightly.

A buddy stood with my MN 44 and from 50 yards in front of the black sticky target, missed the whole target with all six shots, and the bayo was extended for them.

A second Russian MN 44 made a 5 or 6-inch group from 50 yards on the bench, shoots better with the bayo folded.

My LE #4 and Yugo Mauser are much better. Even my two LE Jungle Carbines #5s are much better.
If you want to some day have a classic Yugo. Czech or Russian-capture ('RC' German) 8mm Mauser, start buying surplus ammo Now.

It will get more scarce and pricier in the near-future and one day be what surplus .303 is now (very scarce, if available at all).
