Took a few guns to the range early yesterday morning before anyone was there to tell me I wasn't allowed to shoot outside of the structures. I wanted to fire from 20-25 ft. not 25 yds. I had 2 Glocks-the 23 and 26, the CZ Phantom SP 01, Kimber PB Pro, S&W Mod. 36, and my Sec. Six. I've been working on my accuracy for 3 yrs. with not much improvement. I've had several people tell me that if ever in a defensive shooting situation I'd probably be less than 10 ft. away or even closer. I usually concentrate on getting a good sight picture and small groupings but yesterday I worked on removing the gun from the holsters and firing quicker with less concern sighting in. I forgot my targets so I had stopped and picked up some paper plates. In less than 1 1/2 hrs. I was able to unholster, find the target with the front sight while pretty much ignoring the back sight completely, and hit the target with only a few very close misses with every gun except the Ruger Security Six that I never got around to firing. I wish someone had clued me in on this a long time ago. Or maybe I should say I wish I had listened. It was almost like the feeling of staying upright on my bike for the first time when I was a kid. It was suddenly easy to hit the target without taking an eternity to sight in and then still miss a lot. Going out again this morning to work on it some more. Of course I also understand the plates were not shooting back.
