Target Practice

I did some shooting with Sarah's dad whilst we were in Knoxville over the Christmas break. Though the temperature was at or just below freezing, it was still a great time. We shot a number of different rifles (since I prefer rifles to handguns) and Darrell was kind enough to scan a few of the targets from the rounds that I fired. I'm not a superior marksman by any stretch of the imagination, but I was happy with these.

The larger holes on the left are from a Chinese SKS Type 56 firing the same ammo used in the AK-47 and using the standard metal sights. It was fun to shoot and not terribly difficult. The smaller holes on the right are from a scoped 22 rifle (my favorite). Easy to sight and fire. All shots fired from a distance of 42 yards.


More shots from the 22.


Even more shots from the 22.


This is something I enjoy doing with both of my dads, and it's something I'm looking forward to doing with my kids.

Alright! I'm off to the bathroom so that Sarah can cut my hair.

Stay Gold!

The question of anyone seeing those targets should be "would I want to be the target at 42 yards away?" Let alone 10 feet away... You've learned well. A skill I still pursue with some success.
