Friday Afternoon target practice

Took a new shooter and met a coworker for a post-lunch shootfest.

Scored really bad on the FAST drill. So bad I dont want to post it here. I am readjusting to my old sights, having just removed the XS sights.

I jsut could not adjust to teh XS sights. I know some folks can shoot really well with them,, but for me, it was just one more thing to master in addition to severl other techniques. I decided I would rather focus my attention on grip and front sight picture than hassle with the XS sights.

We then did the TDA Dot Torture Drill. We stayed at 3 yds.

My buddy scored 45/50, i did 42/50.

After that we just had some fun shooting steel targets.

Thomas Jefferson

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1785

Shot a 9.85 sec FAST test today. (2 shots to a 3x5", slide-lock reload, followed by 4 shots to an 8" circle.)

Qualifies me as Intermediate. Need to break 7 seconds to reach Advanced qualification.
