Target #4 first 5 shot, 120 shots later my shoulder started to get sore so I had some fliers high left.
Overall a good day and I had a blast shooting that rifle.
I had about 15 rounds left and tried doing rapid fire without aiming at a target, 5 rounds standing but my (support) left arm was just too tired and sore, 10 rounds on bench, I can’t imagine shooting that gun full auto.
The gun, all 130 rounds shot.
No failure to feed.
No failure to eject.
No failure to fire.
That M1A is a beast.

Hell yea! Nice shooting brother.

I get it. I used to live in Upstate New York.

Used too.

I won’t be long before it’s too hot to shoot outdoors here!

Any weather is good weather for shooting! Mild or Foul! Hot or Cold!
