Crunchy Shrimp Roll

Today's lunch is sushi from Target. Priced from $4-$10 there typically is a nice selection. The quality is in the middle compared to some of the Sushi places in Des Moines.

Target Shooting

 

Charles "Butch" Olofson allowed me to have some fun today. I thru about 150 rounds down range at 50 & 100 yards. Not bad for iron sights only. Thanks Butch!

Sight your AR-15.

Ok- I am going to tell you how to sight in your AR-15.   Military Matt at the range helped me.  First you need the right tools.  You will need a tool that adjusts the front sight.  It will allow you to raise and lower the front sight pin. If you are at the range ask the shop to borrow one- most likely once you have your rifle sighted you will not need it again.  

On your rifle near the rear sight you will have a knob that adjusts the sight from left to right. Make sure that it is centered.  You will also have a wheel that adjusts the rear sight up and down. Make sure that is on Z.  Next set a tall target that is 25 yards out. Not more and not less.  Take a sitting position and rest your rifle on a steady rest. Take your time on 3 shots aiming at the center of the target.  Review your bullet holes and adjust your front sight only.  For every inch from the center adjust accordingly.  Turn your front sight to the right if you are above target.  Turn it to the left if you are below target.   We were able to sight my rifle in 15 shots.

Once your rifle is sighted in you will have so much more fun at the range and spend less money on Amo when you practice.

Friday Fun

Met some friends for some shooting on Friday.  Broke out the SKS and fired 40 rounds thru it at 50 yds.   Was able to hit the target 38 out of the 40 shots with 10 shots close to center.  I also was able to shoot the AR-15.  I started out at 35 yards- with 20 shots close to center and no misses.  Another 20 shots at 50 yards with 5 close to center with 1 bullseye.   The others that I could tell fell below center 2 inches.   I am shooting with iron sites on both rifles.  Not bad. Will need to visit again soon and work on steadiness.
