I went to Botner(sp) NC today with My dad and Kevin. We left at aroudn 3am and it only took us 2 hours to get there so we went into Durham and had some breakfast at Shoneys. Got to Botner's training facility, got the run down of the M-1 Garand, learned how to work "the pit" and spent about 2-3 hours in an underground bunker flagging targets while 30-06bullets flew about 25feet over our heads. Then it was our turn to shoot. Those guns are super super fun to shoot! Pron position was by far my best way of shooting, sitting was the most uncomfortable and most unbalanced which almost had me rolling from the recoil of the rifle into my shoulder, and standing was ok except for the massive winds that would push you right off focus right before you pulled the trigger. The kick back from those guns weren't half as bad as people made 'em out to be, it all depended on how you held the gun, but believe me if you held it too loose you'd definitely feel it in your shoulder! I already see the bloodvesels that popped from getting hit from the rapid fire drills we ran, tomorrow I'm expecting a nice little bruise.
Anyways I've been up since 1:30am, I'm sun burnt and very dehydrated which means it's 8:18pm and I'm hitting the hay.
