I just had one of those days on Saturday, I had to qualify for my HR-218 card. It’s not a tough test, just 10 shots at 5 yards with a reload (yawn!) but it is needed for national carry as a retiree.
The rain had stopped and about 45 people were there, so I was on line two since I was shooting a 9mm and my .44 Mag Model 69 with .44 Spls. (It is my sierra-country fishing gun.)
I lined up with the others on my line, loaded up, aimed on the command and put the first five shots from my CZ-SP01 into one 1/2” hole just to the right of the 1” center ring on a silhouette the sheriffs office uses. The RSO behind me jokingly said, “I see you’ve done this before” as I did my mandatory mag chance for the last 5.
Right then was when I should’ve left.
Naturally the rest were not as well-fired as my first set, but I kept both the 9mm, and then the ten .44 Spls., where they needed to be to get the card signed.
Maybe next year…
Stay safe.
