Made a run to the indoor range after work last night. Took my restoration project with me to function fire.
Shot it first. The sear cage has so much movement the safety can be seen moving as SA is pulled. The front sight has a little chip. I shot it with all the Israeli dirt and grime in it still. Just great! My mental game wasn't totally there and my groups opened up. Pictures are of 7 yard group, then I shot at 15 yards, then 25 yards. All free hand. Can't wait to get some work done on this thing!

Then I shot my 10mm Witness Hunter for 25 rounds. Did some 20 yard shots w pace of about a shot every 0.8 seconds. All A zone, but not great groups. Still fun! Then tried some 25 yard shots, standing 2 hand grip. Aimed at the head and yanked 1 shot onto the right shoulder. Other 4 made it on the head. Distance shooting is improving, but I still have a hard time keeping my mind clear as opposed to worrying about the shot breaking.

I spent some rounds with the Rami at 25 yards. Splits around 0.5 seconds. Groups were not my best, but I reminded myself that they are better than I was last time. I didn't take pics because I was mad I wasn't all A zone hits. This probably led to me getting worse...
Went to my SP-01 Compact with the red dot. Red dots feel like cheating. I was mid practice and started thinking of the wrong things. The pic is of 3 mags, 3 rounds each. 15 yards, 0.3 splits. I had started to shift my grip a little to how I used to and this brought back my propensity to push shots left, which 3 did go left. Little clean up in the mental game for consistency.

Eventually I decided I wanted to end with opening up and seeing my sights. I pulled the target to 7 yards, which usually tempts one to look for the bullet hole, not the sight to call the shot. But I determined to hold on tight and steady and see my sight. I proceeded to shoot through about 40 rounds (didn't count) and shoot every CZ I brought. So I cycled through 4 to 6 rounds per mag with my classic 75 Compact, my SP-01 Compact with the red dot, my SAO SP-01 Compact, my Rami, and my Pre-B. All different sights, triggers, grips etc. But the goal was proper shot calling and grip. It was crazy, my mind just shifted, my splits were around 0.2, and I just started to see my sights through recoil again. Whew, so I kept going. Grouping wasn't great, but it got me to end while in the right mindset of shot calling and seeing my shots. Now it's time to resume dry firing, that's finally what is lacking in my practice/confidence.
