Live Fire (Elite Shooting Sports, Manassas, VA)
Started off with Dot Torture at 3 yards, got 43/50. A bit worse than my last few times out, but first time I had shot in two weeks, and at least I finally nailed all of the one-handed shots on #5 and #8.

Next up, 5X5 drill at 5 yards, edge timer set for 5 seconds (yes, slower than I had been doing, but thought I would back it off a bit since I hadn't shot in a while). Shooting at slower pace made it pretty easy, only missed 3 out of 30 shots (would normally only only be 25 rounds, but I added in one extra 5-round string just for kicks).

Move on to a Mozambique drill at 7 yards, edge timer set for 3 seconds. Put 6/8 in the 9 or 10 ring, and 4/6 in the head. Not too bad.

Finished off the 9mm with 10 rounds on a bullseye at 25 yards. Results were not good - only one in the black, 7/10 on the paper, missed the target completely with three rounds:

Switched over to the Kadet and some .22. Tried out some Federal Auto Match and it ran pretty well. Most of the .22 shooting was done in DA mode and had no light strikes with either the Federal or the CCI minimags. Had a few light strikes in SA mode, but only 2-3. Started off with another Dot Torture at 3 yards, either got a 47/50 or 48/50, depending upon how you count the shot that just grazed the outer circle on #6:

Next up, the Press Out drill at 5 yards, did not do as well on this one as I did last time out:

Finished off with a walk-back drill, on 4X6 cards. Five rounds each at 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25 yards, shot medium pace (about one shot/second, a bit faster on the targets <10 yards). Results as follows:
3 yards - 5/5, 1.5 inch group
5 yards - 5/5, 1 inch group
7 yards - 5/5, 1 inch group, with one flyer at 2 inches
10 yards - 4/5, 2 inch group
12 yards - 4/5, 1.5 inch group
15 yards - 4/5, 3 inch group
20 yards - 2/5, about 3.5 inches apart
25 yards - 1/5
Over all, pretty good for me after not shooting for 2 weeks, and only twice in the last month. Need to work on long distance shooting, so will continue to throw in a bullseye at 25 yards and keep the walk-back drill.
