Progressing

I'm getting excited by the amount of feedback already.  This should be fun. 

First thing first, please note and tell your friends that that the URL has changed in order to correct my spelling error. 

So after committing to do this project and setting up the website I spent time writing up a rough draft of the rules of the challenge.  That got me even more psyched for this event.  I know some of you are ready to do this right away but I want to make sure this is done right since I have never set up and done anything like this before.

I would like your input on the date and time for the event.  Right now I am looking at the afternoon of March 31st at the Wahsatch Shooting Range.  It appears open on their calendar for now.  That would give me time to get things together and my next 4-6 weeks are going to be too busy to get the event put together right.  It will also give plenty of time to get the word spread, people signed up, and those who want to participate that don't have a Nagant time to go buy one and get it sighted in.  I saw that Cabela's had a sale on the Nagants for $99 so if don't have one, or don't have enough of them, I'm enabling you to feed the hunger.

Post your thoughts or go ahead and shoot me an email with your thoughts.  Yes, it will be a friendly competition.  Yes, I do expect a lot of competitive smack talk. 

Welcome To The Utah Nagant Challenge Project

This site is built in the hopes to put together the first of possibly many Mosin Nagant 91/30 competitions.  This idea stemmed from the competitive nature shared between my brother and I and the amount of fun we've had with the Mosin Nagant 91/30.

My brother picked up a Nagant a couple of years ago and after having so much fun shooting it with him he took me up to the store and had me pick one out for my birthday.  We still have a lot of fun shooting these things when we can and seeing what you can do with these old rifles.  Recently on a trip to the desert he pulled off a shot to a 1 gallon water jug at 300 yards on the first try.  Oh, yeah, with open sites, no modifications, and surplus ammo.  Pretty amazing.

So with this in mind we've been talking over some ideas about putting together a friendly competition among shooters with the Nagant with open sites.  Details and a date will follow.
