[Sarajevo]

The first time I cranked off a round, everyone around me at the range turned a cautious eye toward me.

When I fire a round, the whole world goes silent...............mostly because I can't hear a thing over the ringing in my ears. Double hearing protection is a must with a Mosin. I love it though- it's a tool, not a toy.

Double hearing protection is a must with a Mosin. I love it though- it's a tool, not a toy.

While trying to shoot from the prone position, my hearing protection kept bumping up against the new stock and every time I cranked off a round, my right ear was uncovered. I'm going to have to re-think that for the next time out and maybe use those foam inserts.
