Let an old warhorse stretch her legs

[garrettbragg12]

College, two jobs, and a social life steal away all my shooting time, so for the first time in a year I let my M1 sling some lead down range. It amazes me what a 70+ year old rifle can do. This was my almost all original 1944 Springfield at 100 yards. One grouping was held over the X, the other at the 9.

Yup, they never did shoot, did they?

I should paper my .308 and see if it'll do that well...if I can see that day.

I've been in the same boat. I have two garands I have not, as yet fired. Maybe this weekend. Nice rifle. Nice shooting.

Not having the time to shoot is awful, mainly because of how therapeutic it is for me. When tests and work have me stressed, shooting is a great relief.

Thank you for the compliments!

Great looking M1, good shooting!

Winter's on its way here, range closes - gets too wet, so not much shooting till the Spring
