Shooting
It's a rainy day, and windy as well. I was trying Glock 17 and Norinco M14. Norinco M14 is a heavy battle rifle, it takes quite a bit of muscle strength to operate. A good exercise for me that day, I still felt the muscle pain two days later. I can understand why US army replaced it with M16. But it was powerful and accurate! I can hit a head sized target 50 meters away and chest sized target 100 meters away easily, with just iron sight. As for Glock, it's a good pistol, accurate and reliable. But I don't like the grip. I prefer full metal guns like Beretta or SIG. As usual, I practiced my pistol shooting at 25 meters. For the last target change, I only got 5 bullets left. So I stapled only one target on top of the existing papers. I decided to fire my last 5 bullets with single hand. One of the bullets went right through the center. I overheard a few guys saying that I was practicing pistol competition shooting:-) . Right now, I'm just doing it for relaxation. But maybe I should join some competition shooting someday!

Got some cheap 7.62x51 surplus ammo from China. they were supposed to be used as machine gun ammo. Took me quite a while to unlink them. These ammo were not very accurate. I will try some local ammo next time.

I'm practicing my sniping skills with this Remington 7615P Pump Action Patrol Rifle at 100 meters. I mounted a cheap NC-Star scope and used factory ammo. It still achieved sub-MOA grouping. I'm quite happy with the results. Considering I'm new to long range target shooting, I'm confident the rifle itself is more accurate than I can shoot and it will give me better results when my skill is improved. I'm also shooting Ruger Mark III pistol. I started to practice shooting with only my right hand holding the pistol, my left hand rested in my pocket. The result was not bad! the grouping was a bit bigger, but most of them hit the 5" target placed 25 meters away. I can shoot more accurately than most of the guys at the range, even with my left hand rest in the pocket! I overheard a fellow shooter telling his friends, "The guy shoots with one hand in the pocket!"

I decided to have some fun with my cowboy toys. The Ruger single action is pretty accurate. At the very beginning, when I bought this pistol three years ago, brand new out of the box, I couldn't shoot straight with it! I could barely hit a 7 meter target with it. I thought there was something wrong with the gun. I thought about selling it. But I finally figured out it was due to the sight not aligned properly. After I adjusted the sight, it shoots perfectly well.
