First rounds fired! I was in a rush so it's not my best effort, and I forgot to bring my group tightening Wind Talker. All that being said - I am a happy Blackfeather owner. Top left: 5 rounds, off hand - rapid fire. Top center: 10 rounds from the rest - with optic adjustments. Top right: 10 rounds from the rest. Bottom center: 11 rounds from the rest.

Aimpoint Comp M4 with 2 MOA dot. Portuguese NATO surplus ammunition.

Looks good for off hand! You must have some big shoulders and biceps. hehehehe

I can't believe how much light is in there. I've never seen an indoor range so well lit. Wow. That is cool. Is that a public range? When I've visited my in laws in Anniston, AL, I have yet to find a public range that isn't too far. But you're one state over. So....

It's nice little public range in West Athens, just down the road from Clyde Armory.
They just refurbished it, and it looks great.

Consider the lighter, cooler running scout hand guard (SHG).
It accepts mini side rails. You can co-witness, and not need a cheek riser.

I'm not familiar with it, how does it compare to the ultimak in height/weight/price? I'd just be using it for the micro and an offset light mount so I don't have to drill into the stock to mount a light.

The SHG is a few ounces lighter than the UltiMAK, and it is the same height so you can co-witness.
