Combat Auto 174 Posted December 14, 2013 Well, We post just about everything on the NJGF - motorcycles, girls with guns, what word you use to talk about Halloween, etc...Given we are all shooters (or at least gun owners) thought it might be good to post some of our best groups... Check out this Beauty: 7 round 2.5 inch group at 25 yards (1 floater over in the "C" section). Medium rate of fire. Wilson Combat Tactical Elite - 1911 - 45acp (sorry about the wide-angle distortion in the picture - I am working on getting a better camera). Off the shelf Duty Ammo HST This is Standing - 2 hand hold. (no bench rest). After banging steel at 50 yards over the summer, coming back to 25 yards (and indoors for the winter) almost seems "easy". What do you think Guys? - Not bad for someone close to retirement age who only started shooting 18 months ago ;-). Let's see some more targets! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSD1026 48 Posted December 14, 2013 while trying to break in the new Dawson sights on my M&P22... not horrible, but im not a bullseye shooter yet.. heh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norseman 2 Posted December 14, 2013 So here's 15 rounds at 10 yards And then I moved it out to 15 I don't know if this is all that good ...I'm self taught by watching YouTube videos and reading. And I spend a bit of time dry firing. My buddy who's a LEO keeps saying he's going to take me to his training range and teach me like he does his men he's brought in on the force but our schedules just never line up. But I'm happy with it. I look forward to when I can get some real training though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Books, DVD, lots of joyfull practice...Oh yea, and my secreate weopon, when I was a kid all we did around the nieghborhood was play with toy guns - so lots of dry fire ingrained in from way back ;-). Of course today, they would either lock you up or shoot at you if you walk around with a toy gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope Nice...I am going to try this. I know I can do it, the question is, how often/% of hits.... It requires an amazingly steady hold, do you do anything "special" as far as your approach to the hold to make a shot like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard 538 Posted December 15, 2013 Well I'm not nearly as good as some of you here. I am fairly happy in the improvements I have made since first touching a gun this past January. Here are two from this past week shot with my CZ-75B matte stainless 9mm at 7 and 12 yards. 7 yards 12 yards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norseman 2 Posted December 17, 2013 Here's another 15 rounds at 10 yards. I was at Shore Shot today with my .45 XD 5" Tactical. This gun is pretty accurate IMO. Here's 30 rounds (15 at the head, 15 at the center of the body) at 15 yards. Uuuuuh don't know what happened with the one shot to the bottom LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
