I was born and raised shooting bolt actions in 243. and 30-06, and semi auto guns in 22. When I turned 13 I picked up a Yugo sks for my birthday. I can hit a deer straight between the eyes a mile away. So it suprised me to find out I couldnt hit a paint can hanging on a bush 13 ft. away. I got to where I can shoot about 50 yards and hit bullseye with the sks. Now almost 4 years later I got a Mosin nagant, and Its a reacurring problem. The first two shots were at 50 yards. My first shot found its place in the center of a water jug. The second shot found its place directly next to the first, with the edge of the bullet hole touching the previous. After that, I was off atleast 5 to 6 inches, not hitting the jug more than once after. So i was hoping I might come across someone who can give me some good advice about using iron sights on a mosin nagant.
