Scoring Targets...am I doing it right?

[longgonedaddy]

For the first time, did 25 yds standing with a two hand hold today.  Did 2 strings of ten on each target.  Overall, I'm pleased with the results.  I did find that I'd pull a few shots each time and I attribute them to rushing the shot instead of holding the shot and going back through my breathing routine.  Those were the mental breaks in practicing today. 

It still amazes me that I can put so many rounds in the black at that distance.  The 97BE is a very nice pistol!

Used a variety of ammo today just to use up the misc rounds left over from the 97BE ammo testing.

Nice! Many shooters would be very happy to shot groups like that at 7yd.

LGD--You are doing great.  I shot my own 97 today at bullseye practice.  It's been a while since I've shot it, so I had to refresh my brain on how to control it--not jerk it, pull it smoothly regardless of what the sight was doing.  We are all working on achieving the same thing--pulling the trigger without moving the gun.  I had enough "good" targets today to make me want to work at some more this week.  You guys will never see the poor ones.  And I'm not going to mention them again.  I had a lot of 10s and x's.  Those are what I will remember--what I was doing to shot a 10.

Guys, thank you for the compliments.  I'm just learning how to become a better marksman and your experience is helping me accomplish that.  Plus, it's alot of fun!
