Mosin Shoot - 2013

[lmyer]

Thanks guys, I'll send you PMs and also post again when I get some more info on the Mosin shoot. Didn't end up going last Tuesday, but next meeting is in 2 weeks.

Count me in! I have a buddy that'll like to come as well

how about.....

I don't have any Mosins myself, but I've been wanting to learn about different configurations of them, find and decide on the one I want. Would a "wanting" to be a mosin owner be welcome to come, talk, see, walk and learn with you at this event? I've never even fired a Mosin, maybe I could grab a few rounds and hope some nice people would let me put a couple down range.

(Out of curiosity where does Mosin recoil stand with say a 7mm Mag?)

I would like to get together with some Mosin guys. I am one of the new guys that really needs some tips and pointers. Doesn't seem to matter how I adjust my sights I am still shooting high.

Might be interested, never have shot my T53 along with my Remington M91.

I'm not far (Camby'ish) if you ever want to have a local mosin shoot.

Faine, I have had my mosins for about 5 years and studying mosins for about that long. I am still finding variations. You won't know which variation you want until you decide what you want your mosin for...then you can go to a few shows and dealer crates***,drive them all crazy by going through every mosin they have until you find the mosin that suites you. They are not all created equal, so be patient.

Yet another reason I'd like to learn by doing. Going, talking to people, learning first hand what works, what doesn't work, how to best find the model that I'm interested in, etc... Most times when I go into Bradis they've got a slew Mosins laying around and I generally end up staring at them for an hour before I leave, just wondering which one was right for me but not willing to lay down the $$ even though it's minimal to just get one.

(Just to throw it out there, there's always a model/type that you see that just intrigues you and makes you want something even more, the picture below is that one for me.)

Keep going, until you know far more about them than the people you are buying them from. Don't educate them though. If they stumble onto one that is extra special we don't want them to know it.

 

[Wesley929]

If I'm free I have family in the area that own Mosins I'd bring mine up and we could join you.

 

[Richwon4]

The sooner you come up with a date the better for me. July is a hectic month. Where exactly is the place you want to have it.

There is a link in post 7 to last years info.

Hope you can come

Weather and wife permitting I'm always up for going shooting!

I would like to know if this OP Event is planned to be open to non-Mosin owners to provide some learning experience though. It's a bit of a drive for me but far enough out that I should be able to make it if it is, who knows, might end up meeting up with some people around here and learning the basics and be able to bring a Mosin by the time July rolls around.

 

[lmyer]

If we consider Sundays, that opens up a lot more possibilities in June or July. Maybe those who are interested can let me know which weekend works best and if Sunday would be ok if necessary. Then I can try to accommodate the most. I really don't have a preference at this point but will need to set a date soon or take what is left over like last year.

Sure, anyone can come. Just can't shoot against us with a Remchester. Gotta have a Mosin to compete (for the money in any case)

I hadn't planned on competing at all, jut learning and meeting people for the most part. I'll keep an eye out for dates/times of this and make my future plans accordingly now that I have been given the thumbs up to attend.

 

[Richwon4]

I'd be open to doing it in a month that is not so hot. Sundays won't work out for me.

 

[walleyepw]

I would be interested. I don't remember what the two carbines are that I have. Purchased them 10+ years ago. Suprised that they are going for $100 and over.

Sounds like it would be alot of fun, wish I lived a little closer.
