Thegungal, I recognize you from the Corral as of the last couple days. :) Here I am: My wife:

I'm doing a bunch of drywall work right now. A 9mm hole will be a very simple easy cheap repair. ;) On a more serious note, very glad that nobody was hurt. Not a bad idea to remove all live ammo/mags from the room. Only takes 1 second. :( IIRC, that 9mm will go through quite a few sheets of...

Congrats to everyone that made it. A handful of my friends made it too, I'm happy for them. Unfortunately I know a lot of total morons that made it too.:cuss:

I want to know who the moron reporter/story writer is that put this picture up and get their explanation.

Hell yeah I profile. I think everyone should. Might hurt someone's feelings every once in a while...*shrug*

I'm not sure, it would just seem tacky for me to wear my medals/ribbons to non-military related events in plain clothes. Granted, I'm still Active Duty, so I only wear them in uniform anyways. I think I might wear them once or twice a year if that. I'm maintenance in the AF, so we're always...

Oh, I did as you requested and shot a target at 25 yards. I should have done it again, as these were the first shots I fired today, and like I said the gun just wouldn't stay still. :neener: I think if I tried again after doing the 7 and 15 yd, I would have done better after practicing a...

Holy **** thanks guys! What an improvement that made! I did my best to concentrate on the front sight, and try to let the pistol "surpise" me (which sucks)! I also made sure I was using the pad of my finger instead of the crease. My 7-yd target today looks better than my 3yd target from a...

I definitely appreciate the advice, thank you! I will try to get out to the range tomorrow and fire some off, and will get close-up pictures of the targets so we can see clearly. I have some of both Winchester and CCI left, so I will annotate which is which. I will take a closer look at...

Gotcha. I will look at the rest of the holes again, I just meant that we shouldn't get hung up on that one hole because it was made "weird", but if others are like that too then I do have an issue I should look into. I've been using Winchester White Box, and the CCI Blazer rounds. If you...

Damn I hate to sound like I'm arguing when I'm new... That one hole is an 'error'... I have one of those target packets where you flip up the next target (kind of like a horizontal notebook). The target being shot is supported, while the rest are unsupported, and dangling in the air (or...

Yeah that was a mistake...I'm sorry I forgot to mention that. I accidentally shot through my whole pack of targets, it was behind another target I was aiming at. Hey, learned that lesson real quick, know what's behind your target! ;) I'm shooting Winchester White Box and CCI Blazer.

I will give it a shot next time out. Probably tomorrow.:uhoh: Yep, 5.0. I've got an '87 coupe also that I'm in the process of building a 351W for, with a single T-76 turbo kit for it. Have all the parts, just need to build it.

Nice chart! I was given this one too: http://www.sportshooter.com/images/correction_chart.GIF I guess I'm tightening my fingers too much. I read somewhere I'm supposed to squeeze hard before I start my trigger pull, that way my fingers are already clenched, so it doesn't yank the gun...

Hey all, I recently bought a Springfield Armory XD9 service (4") model. Everything I've read about it points to being a great gun, and it is comfortable in my hand. It's my first handgun. No lessons or anything, just trying to read what I can about shooting, and apply it. I shot it once...

I've got an XD9. Why does it increase wear? Are you talking about the barrel, or the firing chamber?

At Academy Sports, they have a purple box and a green box of Monarch 9mm. The Sub-$5 box I believe he said is steel casing. I bought a box to try out, and they fired fine. Is there any reason I shouldn't use these for target shooting? Or do I run the risk of damaging the gun in the long run...

I remember that, it was all over the news. It happened on Rt24 (not sure if it was N or S), in Bridgewater MA...hit really close to home because I'm FROM that town, grew up there until I joined the military. It's a VERY VERY low crime area, only other murder I can think of was at a bar with...

Unfortunately it seems in Maryland you're SOL leaving the range, no protection?

Haha yes, they're called "orders" in the Chair Force too.:neener: I had an assignment to Ft. Bragg, but the wifey couldn't get an assignment at Pope or Seymour Johnson, so mine got cancelled. She'll be doing Forensics Photography, she should have a pretty interesting job.
