    Just pick a command when you sit down with it and see what you can do with it. All I ever do.

    Rifle marksmanship,, can't put a motorcycle in the truck with me so my M-1 Garand gets the nod pc enough to take with me but keep it locked up and ammo locked up as well ,where I cannot find a place to shoot dry fire keeps me in practis ,,best I have done with it so far was @ whittington center (raton NM ) 17 inch group @ 1000 yards (1.7 M,O,A)(as long as 10 football fields) shooting from prone with a loop sling just a military style shooting jacket and a work glove on the support hand ,,also do valunteer work as an Instructor teaching Rifle marksmanship & American history about the day of and leading upto April 19 1775 the how and the why of it (lexington and concord & the retreat of the brit army, the shot heard round the world) My m-1 is not a match grade Rifle it is just well built and the ammo was just Korean surplus m-2 ball best it will do with that ammo is 1.7 moa :biggrin_255:

    I'd love to see that watchman.... That's some good shooting.

    With a gun that's not known for being over 2 moa and ammo that's regular 3+moa.

    Especially since the M2 ball isn't know to go past 900 yards without tumbling.

    I have an Xbox 360 and about 2 months ago I got a guitar and am learning (slowly) to play it. My father in law has played his entire life and gives me pointers when I am home. Other then that its the internet reading or just loafing around.
