One of my goals is to shoot 1000 yards with enough time to shoot, sight, and adjust... repeatedly.
I used to shoot in the AKARNG competitions at Ft. Rich, and Camp Robinson AR. I shot at 600m with iron sights with a rack grade M-16. I won that particular AK match, and placed in the top 4 at nationals at Camp Robinson.
I'm not saying I was awesome, but I had a few "any given Sunday" days.
I REALLY want to test my skills with something better than a rack grade M-16 and iron sights.
