Special thanks to John Fox for making it possible.

 

No, not what you dirty bastards are thinking.

 

John invited me down to Lake Island today to do some shooting for my 1st time.

 

Was kind enough to let me start on his 22.

 

BOY , do I have a lot to learn.

 

Consistently shot to the right and a little low, but at least I was hitting paper from 25 yards .

 

Moved to my Glock 26 and certainly noticed more kick then the 22 had.

 

I shot that one pretty low.

 

My last round with the 26 I was pretty much off the paper for most of them.

 

SO, I have a lot of work to do.

 

 

I will be dry firing the hell out of my Glock (have snap caps) so I can minimize my flinch and squeeze trigger instead of entire gun.

 

Also think I see a 22 in my near future to hone my skills a bit, altho do want to spend some time with my or another 9mm.

 

Looking forward to shooting a little closer in to get my skills down a bit, then move out to the 25 yards to get better at that.

 

I want to thank John for taking the time to have me down, show me the ropes and let me shoot his gun.

 

Truly appreciated and can't wait until we can do it again.

 

Was also nice meeting 2 gentlemen John had down, Richie and Bob who were FAR better shots then I

 

Thanks again John.

Congrats. Now your hooked!!!

glad you enjoyed shooting today, enjoy many more and be safe.......

Nice! Move down to seven or ten yards.

That's the plan.

I think 25 is just too far right now for me.

I can barely even see 25 yards.

A lot of reasons for moving down to 7/10yds is because if you're in a situation-- its more likely to be at those distances. With how things are, if you have to engage a hostile at 25 yards, you'll probably have the long arm of justice clothes-line you.

+1

 

if a goblin is 25 yards away from you, you have ample time to get away

7-10 yards, use an FBI Q target similar to http://www.letargets.com/estylez_item.a ... m=F-QANT-A

 

Aim for the Q at 7-10 yards and you're GTG if you can group in center mass.

Yep, 25 is way to far for me riht now.

 

7 sounds good.

Glad you had fun. now you can become broke like the rest of us.

I have a boat and saltwater fishing addiction which takes care of that already
