Greetings from heat ravaged central Texas with a hope this works. I can shoot fairly well, add and subtract, done been to a county fair and a sheep dipping but I am frustrated beyond reason trying to send some pictures via the internet.
Thanks to bigduke for the opportunity and motivation to drag my milsurps out of the closet and see if they will shoot.
Started with the 1917 Enfield by Eddystone and it surprised me! One picture is my first target for the competition. It is also the first 6 rounds from the rifle in a very long unknown time as I have had it for over 10 years and never fired it. Yes it is the first 6 as the very first round did not leave a hole. The hold was 6:00, slow fire off a bench with the as issued sights for a category 1 effort
The ammo used was Korean surplus 30-06 head stamped KU 73. I'll pull a round soon and send particulars for those curious/interested.
As matter of interest/excuse I have found that range conditions ofttimes drive me away. I stop shooting when: the temperature on the bench in the shade reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the mirage prevents spotting the holes, or the wind blows the ammo boxes over. Last outing temp reached 100 F at 11:30am.
More targets to follow.
