This was created by leaving my sighter target on the board behind the real competition target. That is why the holes are a bit ragged, and x marks the 3 sighters around 1 o'clock.
It also illustrates the limitations of the M1917 sights. I had go down one notch and hold over, thus aiming in the white 6 at about 7 o'clock. So that's how I got the 8s at 12 and 4 o'clock, when I got a tiny bit sloppy!
Firing for a group, off a sandbag this rifle will place everything in a 5 cm group at 100 meters. When circumstances allow, I will fire off a 5-shot group for the Milsurp competition and post it there.
Doug, something goes wrong when I click on the photo. Only half the enlargement appears. Any ideas?

I fixed it ....
The pics uploaded as an attachment was 2448px × 2958px (scaled to 532px × 643px). For some reason, large pics like this cause the watermarking software to go "crazy"...
Hey many thanks for putting this video up. (I am pintofshite) . Really apreciate your support, I do have more coming on soon. I was shooting free hand, and as always I tend to wobble at the later stages !
Thanks for producing them. I know a lot of old milsurp collectors who perhaps don't get out to shoot these old girls a lot, really enjoy the videos.
Regards,
Doug
Many thanks, I know not all ppl like the music, or the long intro to the gun etc.
But what I have tried to do is something different to all the other shooting videos out there, lots of influence from the History channel etc.
I should have some more coming on soon.
