Pawel From Poland Gets To Fire Big Weapons
Pawel is a Rotary International Intern from Poland staying with my sister's family this summer. There aren't too many opportunities in Poland to shoot rifles like this...
Pawel was what I call a "natural" and needed very little instruction on every weapon I presented to him. He also observed all of the obligatory safety rules without any sort of the usual lengthy instructions. This man would qualify as a Marksman on any military test range, and could be turned into a Sharpshooter and beyond if I had time to train him! I was VERY impressed!

Pawel shooting an MAK-90 (AK-47)
This is the Chinese version of the AKM in semi-auto only version. It is 7.62x39mm
Pawel shooting an AR-15A2 National Match rifle, which weighs 13.5 lbs. Note that I had him wearing an Eagle Industries TAC-V1-N Assault Vest with 180 rounds of ammunition.
Pawel shooting a .300 WinMag Remington M700 Sendero sniper rifle, firing 190-grain Hornady BTHP rounds at 300 meters.
Note the gravel and dust kicked up from the pressure wave in front of the rifle!
Pawel knew right away how to shoot a rifle...
Pawel shooting 3" Magnum 00-Buck at bowling pins. Note the recoil from these nasty rounds!
Pawel shooting 3" Magnum 00-Buck at bowling pins. He figured out the recoil and adjusted...
Pawel shooting a FN-FAL "Marksman Rifle" configuration, with a 10X Springfield GOVT Model Illuminated Reticle mil-dot scope.
Pawel shooting a Spanish CETME Battle Rifle, with red phosphorous 7.62mm tracer rounds.
Pawel shooting a Walther P22 handgun
at a row of bowling pins.
He ended up being quite a sharp marksman
at the bowling pins! Gotta love the Ted Nugent hair he has going on!!!
 
I've brought many new non-shooter people out shooting serious weapons before, but Pawel was by FAR the most natural shooter of anyone I have ever met. He knew right away where the "safety line" was, and was extra careful and never passed a muzzle across the danger zone. He knew how to load ammunition in magazines without cutting his fingers. He knew "range etiquette" and never violated any safety rules...not even once!
