Each person must shoot an excellent performance at every position to get the golden shooting medal

A shiny medal was in everybody's mind when ten US and Finnish soldiers got together on the rifle range. The main idea for the US soldiers was to shoot and to handle the Finnish army 7.62 RK 95 -assault rifle, made by SAKO. The idea increased, and most of the US soldiers had a chance at shooting the Finnish rifle and a chance at winning the shooting medal. The Finns also demonstrated and taught them how to handle the local (Zastava-Kragujevac) assault rifle, light machine gun, and target rifle. Many thanks go out to Saku Pesu, Fin Army and his team for organisning the event.

The shooting was divided into three different performance times. The first time they were in the lying position, the second time they were in the kneeling position and the third time (not shot yet) they will be in the standing position.

Each person must shoot an excellent performance at every position to get the golden shooting medal. After second shooting period there are still some shooters who have the chance to get that shiny golden medal.

The whole idea not only introduced the Finnish assault rifle, but also very good relationships were made.
