Utah Mosin Nagant Challenge IV

Are you ready?  Have you cleaned your Mosin since the last shoot?  (I haven't).  If it survived this long it can go a couple of months without a scrub down, right?

Announcing the Utah Mosin Nagant Challenge IV.
When:  Saturday October 19th 1:00 - 5:00 pm
Where:  Wahsatch Shooters Association Range in Kaysville, UT
Why:  Because we can and its a whole lot of fun

More details to follow so keep your eyes on the blog.  If you already plan on attending go ahead and shoot me an email at utahmncompetition@gmail.com

For anyone new, we welcome one and all.  You don't have to be a serious competitive shooter to come have some fun shooting with us.  We shoot the Mosin Nagant 91/30 surplus rifle (you know the one that you used to be able to get for about $100 that is now from $129-$169.  I should have invested in Mosins instead of the stock market.)  Only iron sights are to be used.  You can add a recoil pad if you want but other than that no modifications.  You can use expensive ammo if you think it helps but I think we all have been using the cheap surplus stuff.  We shoot at 50, 75, and 100 yards standing, bench rest, and timed.  You can look at previous blog posts to see some of the past stage details but know that with each Challenge the stages may change up just a little bit to keep things interesting.  The 4th stage is a sniper challenge at over 100 ft.  Plan on 5 shots per stage (or less) plus any warm up ammo and extra for any extra challenges between stages.

This is a lot of fun so spread the word and clear your schedule for a good afternoon of shooting with some friends.
