Tomorrow i am going to Sydney to buy some ammo.

I rang my local shooting club today about when i can take the M44 up for a shoot. It turns out there is a pm shoot up there tomorrow night. I can shoot whatever ammo i like. FMJ, soft point etc.

So wish me luck please as this will be my first ever time at a gun range/club. First time shooting at a proper target with the M44. I have shot an air rifle and a .22 at them. I've only shot at balloons etc so first time i will get the chance to see where she lands them on paper.

I wanted to see how the M44 looks firing as the sun goes down and i'm about to get my chance.... and i'm nervous. This time tomorrow i'll be cleaning Mozzie up.

Wish me luck and if i can organize it i will try and get some photo's. Hopefully its not raining and some paper targets will be presentable to scan.

Eeeeepppsssssss...... its really happening.

Good luck, I hope you can get the ammo and have a blast!

[ottawa rogue]

good luck, and keep it tight against your shoulder
good way to get a beating, just ask one of my buddies here.
i wonder if that bruise has faded yet........

[wunhunglo]

Good luck but be careful in Sydney, I believe it is the gay capital of oztralia; we wouldn't want anything to happen to you.

Best of luck tomorrow Wyld_Cat and have fun! Give us an update when you get time.

Done..........

[Wyld_Cat]

Chris, i will be getting ammo. It's the one store its available at.

wunhunglo Sydney is 90 minutes away from me. It's a place i know well. I'll be perfectly safe.
Not worried about being a "gay capital"... i'm a chick.

ottawa rogue. I have gotten to fire Mozzie once. She's a nice fit to my body. No bruise. Just a bit tender the next day which was after close to 50 rounds in around 3 or 4 hours.

[Wyld_Cat]

and thanks for the replies.

That's good to hear, you know what to expect then.
my buddy didn't he assumed it would be like shooting his SKS.
boy was he mistaken
Needless to say, he doesn't want anything to do with my "Howitzer" as he calls it

Girl have a good time shooting and I'll be the first to confess that woman can and a lot are better shots than men.
So enjoy your trip, I hope you find plenty of ammo and have fun shooting up a storm...A.H

Yes there is... And one of them is a girl i grew up with.

But like most people they sense to stay away from me.. and that's without a gun in my hand.

Lol.

No semi-auto will have the same kick when some of the energy goes in to chambering the next round.

It's the only gun i have picked up that feels right. It feels like part of me. The ex has a SMLE and it's just not right but then he says the same thing about mine. Mine bruises him, but i can handle his..

any tougher i'd rust. j/king... maybe

Have fun!

Wyld_Kat...good luck as you're buying ammo and getting set up at the gun range. You'll do fine. I can tell that you're a determined lady and that nothing's gonna stop you from reaching your goals.
