Met one of my 2019 goals today...with the Kadet, of course

[Joe L]

Match next weekend, been out of town, so will need to practice a bunch this week with the Kadet and P-10F.

Made it to the pistol range after lunch, and the first target looked good.  Second target went very well...



Then the wind picked up and I lost concentration after the clean target, so only managed a 92 in the wind gusts.  That got my attention, so I settled down and controlled the trigger, and shot ANOTHER 100! 



First time ever for me to shoot two 100 targets on the same day.  But I wanted to do that with the P-10F also.  Wasn't going to happen.  I kinda struggled with the P-10F today but I expect today's trigger finger experience to pay off on Tuesday.  Here is a fair P-10F timed fire target.



I just need some more trigger time.  The new Holosun 507C sight worked great in the overcast gloomy conditions.  P-10F is excellent mechanically, shooter needs work. 

This was a good day.  I hope to make it to the range on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week.  Match Saturday.

Nice shooting!  What he doesn't tell us is that those shots were at 10 miles!

I kind of expect to shoot the Kadet well.  When I can clean two targets on match day with the P-10F, I'll call out Boris_LA.

Plus, Boris only shoots on really windy days !

Make fun of me all you want.
I think that somebody is laughing at you is much better than somebody crying over you.
I will take a laugh.

I totally respect your shooting skills!  You and Joe really are an inspiration to me.   So much so I have plastic templates to determine what my shooting scores really are.    But I like to have fun like you guys do, too!

I had to use the plastic shot template today on a Kadet rapid fire target.  I think it is a 100-4x but this one is so close I'm not going to post a photo for fear someone will say it is a 9 hole.      But even a 99-4x for rapid fire is good for today.  Still struggling with the P-10F, shooting 92-95 in rapid and timed at 25 yards, about 3-4 points off the Kadet averages.  I'm still shooting some 8's when I don't release the trigger smoothly.  It happens.  Slow fire only on Wednesday if it isn't raining.

The absolutley best shooting lesson I have learned in my life is how to score another shooters target.   For the past two years I have gotten into 600 yard rifle shooting matches.  This is where you have the shooter on the firing line, a person behind the shooter that is reading the target score, and a person down in the target pit pulling down the target and actually marking the shooters results on the target.  Once you have experienced someone else being responsible to score you accuratly, you become so much more reasonable in understanding what scoring is all about.
