A little nervous...

[ChrisATX]

OK, so I pick up my late number M1903 next week. Girlfriend surprised me this weekend with a box of 150 gr 30-06 (Remington).

I shoot regularly, pistol. .45 ACP 1911 pattern. By regularly I mean once every 1-2 weeks, depending on finances and time, with targets typically at 15-25 m.

I grew up shooting rifles. I started at around 8 years old. Over under Savage .22/410 combo. Quickly moved up to 7 mm mag (Remington 700 action) as a deer gun.

That said, I haven't pulled the trigger on a rifle in 10 years, and even longer ago than that on iron sights. The range here is 100 yards, outdoors.

I guess you could say I have the butterflies. I hope I can hit the broadside of a barn.

Nahh all good you never forget once learned use the same principle as H/guns focus on the sights blurry bull but still sharp enough to put it in the centre, besides ain't nothing like the smell of burnt gun powder, get down there and enjoy
