But you can hunt turkeys with a bow fishing rig.

So you can shoot it with a bow fishing deal, and then you're tied on to your turkey.

That way it can't run away anymore.

Alright, fair enough.

I don't think you can shoot 115 yards.

I don't know if you have that much line.

and for some reason enemy at the gates is the first any of us has ever heard of it i read the book that that's based on the book is not like the movie at all it's actually a historical like non-fiction book which threw me as a teenager but um so hollywood fucked up yet another move uh yet another book i mean they turned a non-fiction book into a a dramatic movie

But like the book isn't like focused on which some of the Soviet tales of their snipers exploits.

I also think are a little iffy, but exaggerated, perhaps, perhaps.

But anyway, hang on.

So World War One.

The Russians needing more rifles order fucking hundreds of thousands of them.

I think Remington produced something in the order of three quarters of a million rifles for the czarist Russian government, which all gets halted with the October revolution because Lenin's like, fuck you.

We're not going to pay for these things.

And the United States is like, Ooh, these communists are a little iffy, which is funny because the czar, the czar didn't pay for any of the rifles from Remington either.

Um,

So I think it's on the order of almost 300,000 Mosin-Nagants get purchased by the U.S.

Army, probably because the government was just saying, oh, well, somebody has to buy them, so we'll take them on.

You used to be able to get, through the Civilian Marksmanship Program, a Remington Mosin-Nagant, probably back in the 20s and 30s.

It was.
