Yugo 59/66s and grenades

[SKS Ray]

Is anyone here firing blanks and dummy grenades out of their Yugo 59/66 SKS'? I saw a link posted here a while back mentioning Israeli practice rubber grenades, blanks, and the Yugo 59/66 SKS. Seems like a lot of fun, but at a 100 yard range, I'm wondering if the rifle's grenade launching sights are accurate enough to use when launching one. I'd hate to plunk down the cash for a rubber practice grenade and launch it over the berm into the bushes and never find it.

Have you seen the homemade tennis ball launchers?

There's only one way to find out...

A fellow that I know launched one straight up, just once.
Alchohol was a factor.
It landed a few feet away and went through the patio.

Did he by any chance say, "Hey Y'all, hold my beer and watch this" before doing this?

Here you go - everything you wanted to know about SKS practice grenade launching, but were afraid to ask:

Check out the videos of actual launchings. Site also includes a link for the grenade launching "blanks" he uses. Looks like fun!

I got my dummy rifle grenade from Numrick for a decent price.

I have a couple M1A2 Projection Adapters. I have yet to try and lob them down range though.
