Me and my friend hit the range for some weekday shooting fun. We took his SKS, and Mosin Nagant and my .22 Magnum and M&P 9. It was my first time shooting the Mosin, and my first time shooting a rifle with that much power. It was a heck of a lot of fun. He's been having some problems with the SKS not ejecting the spent casings so he brought it out after replacing the gas valve to see if that did the trick. It still seemed to have problems so he's going to replace the gas block next. I didn't do to well with the M&P. I can tell I need a lot more time practicing with it to gain some consistency.
The only target we saved was the one from 100 yards. We were shooting at it with both the .22 and the Mosin from the bench. I have no complaints considering this was my first time shooting the Mosin and my first time shooting any gun at 100 yards.
