A little bit about my biography. I was born in USSR, and still think it`s a damn shame things didn`t turned out better. I always liked to shoot things, and I`ve been involved in sportive rifleshooting back in school. Granted, at the level I could get in, we never had anything other then old Mosin rifles to show our prowess with, but it was already a good start. I`ve been in army in 2000-2001 in Chechnya (as medic, don`t get your hopes up). I suggest to limit your curiousity with this snippet or befriend me first - I don`t talk about army days to strangers... Vote for the next User of the Month
