Great And Fun Range Day

[AzShooter1]

I finally had a chance to make it to the range today for a little practice. Over the past month all my range days were spent in the ER for a variety of reasons but no surprises today so I Made It.

I took my Black Mamba so I could get in some practice before this week's Steel Challenge Match. I fired 200 rounds at 25 yards working on the speed of my first shot. I figured if I could consistently hit the 8 inch ring of a Bianchi Target I'd be good to go and could save a lot of time on my overall score. My time to first shot has been really slowing me down lately. Today's exercise should be beneficial. I was able to get shots off in less than 1.5 seconds. Still needs a lot of work but it's a vast improvement.

What put a smile on my face was when I took out my Heritage Rough Rider. I had a box of CCI Quiet ammo with me and after putting up a fresh target at only 7 yards I dropped the hammer on a QUIET. The lack of noise and recoil was very noticeable. I went on to fire the 50 round box and kept all rounds into about 3 inches. Not spectacular but pretty good considering the old style sights on this gun.

I always bring 2 guns to the range with me, either for a spare or just for fun. Today proved to be for fun.

Az shooter I feel for you pn the er trip. I just spent a day there with my little one. Now we are quarantined for 10 days. the 1st shot time is what kills alot of shooters. just make sure you don't get in habit of firing the shot and dropping your gun to ready position. I have seen it happen to people who practice first shot drills. when I coach the kids we always have them transition to a second target even is they don't fire on it.
