Sharpshooter
I went shooting today with a couple of friends. I brought my Mosin Nagant. They had never fired it before. Ken is about 5 foot 1 inch and Sam is about 6 feet tall. I shot it and they were surpised by the recoil. Ken said, "I don't think I am going to shoot it. I have to work tonight and I need my arm." He did give in and shot 3 rounds. That was enough for him. When I got home, my wife was in the room while I was changing clothes and saw my shoulder. She took a couple of pictures. Here they are. I only fired about 15 rounds. I will say that I was sitting on a picnic table straddling the seat. I say this because I have shot it before and it didn't leave a bruise. I don't know how those darn Russian soilders fired the Mosin Nagant all the time. I shot a Bushmaster AR-15 immediately after and the recoil was ridiculously light. Anyone else ever got a bruise from the Mosin Nagant?
