    You're thinking either 30-06 or .308, right?

    The Mosin is bangier and shoulder-hurtier than any rifle in either calibre that I've shot, mostly due to the short barrel and steel buttplate. 7.62x54R ballistics are pretty much identical to the 30-06 (and the 8x57, for that matter).
    my bad! my bad! 30-06

    Janie was American remember. They use terminology like, "A bucket of bullets". Aim for the mass of moving things and start shooting


    What movie was that where that was sung and security guards jumped on a girl?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Tempting mate - I'd rather give her something she wants to shoot so she (literally) go for gold. Dunno... but I reckon she'd do ok. How do newbies get on in a pistol club... is that something I could organise for her?

    Who do I talk to?

    You need an A class firearms licence to start with, so get her onto that, which takes a few months. Once she has it, she can apply for pistol club membership after turning up for a couple of supervised sessions. Your choices are pretty much limited to the Warkworth, Central or Waiuku (who meet at a range in Howick) clubs.

    Six months down the track the club can recommend her for a B endorsement on her licence if she passes the Pistol NZ written test and has 'demonstrated competence', ie, never screwed up on the range and managed respectable scores in whatever competitive shoots she's participated in.

    That comment didn't make up for my years of childhood abuse and neglect, but it sure put a grin on my face for the rest of the evening.
    Not uncommon to see non-shooting types put out really impressive groups first time up.

    The lack of previous gun use shows up when there's pressure on though - the bullets start to spray a bit then.

    This is exactly the procedure followed in Fiji. I presume that public access to firearms there, is minimal at the best, so the military take away the police firearms and hey-presto! Instant coup.

    I believe this is the way most dictatorships go... Hitler followed the same procedure.

    I regularly shot 6" groups but the top shooters could halve this.
