I need practice
You guys have probably seen this or a variation of this hundreds of times but I'm going to tell a short story anyway.
Yesterday I went down to the IWL range with a couple standard 100 yard rifle targets set up at approx 15yds and fired about 8 mags of 10 shots at the five circles on the sheet. Groupings were about 3" with a few 6-10" flyers, not bad for taking about 4 months off I thought.
Then I found a silhouette target that had only a couple of holes in it so put it up and moved it to about 7 yards, loaded 2 mags with 10 rounds each and shot in groups of 5, 3 torso, 2 head, very rapid fire.
Learned that I need practice and that I better get better in case I need to be. Most shots were left of target, may have grazed an outer body area, but clearly not center mass shots. The 4th set of 5 was a little better, not much.
It is one thing to shoot 2-handed slowly at a target, another thing entirely to rapid fire. May need to look into IDPA or similar to improve and correct the left pull. Perhaps I need to borrow a 9mm or .45 and see if the recoil makes a difference. Either way, I need practice.
Thought I'd share.
