Here is a video of me running my short AK at an Action Rifle match in Mesa AZ on Sunday: CLICK ME. The rifle is a Yugo M85 PAP that I SBRd last year.
I thought you guys might like to see that, in the right match format, these little guns can be competitive... I won the Iron Sight division, and (more important) beat my smart-ass son who was running an AR15 with optics. This is a great match for digging your cool-but-oddball rifles out of the back of the safe

Nicely done, looks like a good time. I've tried time and again to convince people it's not just about what you are using, but that you learn how to use it and use it properly.
I wonder how you would fare if they increased the distances out to 100 yards.

Was someone hollering "Wolverines!" at the end of the video? Looks good!

I wonder how you would fare if they increased the distances out to 100 yards. Probably not good - the iron sights on this platform are definitely more of a short-range proposition. I struggled on the pair of 18" plates at ~60 yards on Stage 3. In most 3-Gun matches I run an 18" AR15 with red dot or scope. |

I love my M85, but that tiny notch is at exactly the wrong distance for me to properly align the sights. |
