(10/10/2023) Again i find myself on YouTube. came across 50 Round Drills so I’ve been working on the very first part— the lower and reset one. I’ve also started tracking exactly (at the end of the mag) where everything is going. theres fly aways. But generally I’m grouping a bit more

Talking targets, and how to get on it
Ash and the Cardboard Dead
Ash had a good day at the range yesterday! This was 50 rounds of 7.5 bird.
Support hand ftw
Today I tried something new. Tacticool GF released a video on what you’re supposed to do with your non dominant hand when shooting. Pretty much, it drives while your trigger hand is focused on pulling the trigger. Well, damn if that didn’t fix my lower left issue! still working on how I position myself in…
Today’s Impromptu Range Visit
My doods. Look at who is starting to figure out groupings. I’ve noticed recovery is faster too. there’s definitely some messy shots. This visit was 2 days after my last visit and after 5 days of clearing my property of a crapton of 2 inch saplings that I had been ignoring. Word of advice? Never…
Don’t tell the others but i have a favorite
Don’t tell the others, but I have a favorite. Bets is a beautiful handgun. She’s everything I wanted in my first handgun and I’m learning so much from her. Rhianna, my rifle, is a nice stress free rifle. but— confession time— i get the most joy from working with Ash. I dropped 25 rounds of…
No grouping, but maybe a hint?
Still pretty diverse in where things land. Ending back on center area which is cool,!but it’s low center and that’s annoying something to note between the last target pic and this one, i spent 3 days doing intense yard work. I used a great deal of hand saws and loppers whilst climbing a steep hill….
Slowly migrating forward
These are the most rounds I’ve ever put in the center. someone once said, was it reddit? YouTube? I don’t remember where I heard it (and I’ve got $10 that they didn’t invent this saying), that shooting is an aggressive act. You take an aggressive posture. The low 7’s and low 8’s were fired before…
Didn’t you know that I was a Savage?
This is Rhianna. She’s a Savage Arms 64F. I like her. I figured i might as well get acquainted with long guns as well, and a little.22 caliber rifle sounded like the right way to go. I like what I see for an absolute beginner.
New Targets
Targets at the range tends to add up. Nothing serious, of course, but when you can pop over to Amazon and get a pack of 50 for a whole lot less, well duh. thing is, when you’re used to what the scatter pattern looks like with your usual target, it’s easy to think well heck,…
Improvements
Wasn’t sure how much those dry fires and advice would actually translate to the range. May I eat my words/doubts. Is it perfect? Nope. Is it a crap ton better than it was? Oh yeah. I’m over my thoughts of just working on my tan. Besides, I’d just get a burn and peel anyway. And…
