I started...went to an APPLESEED shoot and learned about the Revolutionary War....Excellent training for marksmanship and history...not political whatsoever...learn how to hit a skull -size target at 400 yards WITH IRON SIGHTS! The best $70 I spent... free for AD and girls...DO IT!!!!

Check out Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper in the 1939 Winter War who killed 700 Russians - with open sights using a Mosin-Nagant. It’s a good story...
