Has anyone gone to one of these? There aren't any that are less than 3 hours from Misfit Domi, but it still sounds intriguing.
I'd probably have to get a .22 rifle, though. 400 rounds through a Mosin 91/30 would beat the crap out of me, even with a recoil pad.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Never been myself, would love to sometime though. I've heard lots of reports from folks that have been there. What I take away is that:
ReplyDelete1) Little heavy on the type of talk you'd expect from a group that works under the name 'Revolutionary War Veterans Association.' Varies depending on the instructor. Very few people have taken issue with this from what I can see.
2) Thou shalt not shoot without a sling. They're a bit dogmatic about it. Hey, it's a beginner's course, they can't cover every valid technique out there. They've chosen one and stick with it.
3) Yeah, get a .22 for this. They recommend a 10/22 from Ruger. If you run the numbers you'll spend more on .223 ammo to take the course than you would on the 10/22, and that was before the Obama Gun Buy Panic Attack of 2008-2009.
4) Shooting 400 rounds of 7.62xs54R, mostly from the prone position, would frak anybody up for a while.
I got the .22 mag and a M1 but the roughing it in a tent thing is not for this old gal.
ReplyDeleteI do like the idea of an intensive training in rifle marksmanship.
The most I've every shot in a sitting
100 rounds of .22mag and 100 rounds of
12ga (skeet loads). Should worn a heavier pad though, can you say sore!
Eck!
Justin, I'd probably get a .22 bolt-action rifle. Most of my rifles are bolt-action, so it'd probably be a good idea to train on the same kind of rifle I'm more than likely to shoot.
ReplyDeleteDon't know about the ammo cost; I picked up 500 or so rounds of .30-06 from the CMP for less than a 10/22. :)
Eck!, a side-benefit of the JA session is that qualifies people who are non-vets and non-seniors to buy a shiny M-1 from the CMP.
