i got a bit better... glock 27
8x11 paper
The only pic I have right now is one I had posted on my blog, the others are on my PC at home. Suffice it to say at this hour I am not home yet.
This is a pic of a target I had set at 7 yards. I shot it with my Ortgies pocket pistol in .32Auto. Slow to medium rate of fire, two hand hold, no support. I had not fired it in quite a while; and I was using a different brand of ammo than I had ever used before. Shot a bit high to the right, but not a bad group at 1 5/8 inches at it widest spread. Oh yeah, it was 14 rounds, all the ammo I had in its 2 mags. I forgot the boxes of ammo for it at home. As you can see, you don't need a fancy pistol with adjustbale sights to hit pretty decently at that distance. The Ortgies was made back in the 1920s and has abominable sights at best. Here is a link to the blog about that day at the range: http://ballseyesboomers.blogspot.com/2008/05/twice-in-week-at-range.html

And now for something completely different...
20 yards, S&W 627-0, Modified Weaver, double and single action, Home cast Lyman #358429 170g Keith over 15.5g W296, WSP.
Hot load to say the least.
I started out double action for head shots and I noticed a pattern - the mouth, so I went single action for the eyes and nose.

I thought I had a bunch more pics of targets than the one I posted up above somewhere, but the truth is I only still have a few saved on the PC. No other pics of pistol targets, but I have some of shotgun and rifle targets. So here they are.
The first pic is 25 rounds out of a Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun, shot rapid fire from seated at the bench, at 50 yards (range rules must shoot from seated at the bench).
The next is of a Marlin bolt action .22 Magnum target at 50 yards, from the bench, using a scope, elbows supported on bench. I figured it was sighted in good enough for me for a squirrel hunt.
The next is Brendan's target with same rifle at same distance. A little low and to the left, but certainly a better group than mine had been. Good feeling when you kids begin to shoot better than you - isn't it! Must have taught him something right!
The next is also at 50 yards, six shots from the bench, seated, elbows on bench, shooting a Marlin 336 with 200 grain .35 Remington. Brendan was getting ready for an upcoming bear hunt. This was in 2006. While the group is good enough for hunting, he practiced a lot more, and got a lot better - no other pics though, except for the end result that I'll also show.
The end result of the practice with the Marlin 336, a shot at about 35 yards if I remember right. Single shot, took out the heart. The hole in the rib cage would actually have been at a different angle than shown, the part of the rib cage closest to the viewer was actually cut away from the spine. Brendan could not have had a better shot on his first big game hunt. The kill was almost immediate, the bear was hit, did a somersault, pawed the ground once of twice and that was it. Small bruin, young adult, at about 100-125 lbs or so, but a bigger smile you never saw. He had the shakes after that shot for at least a couple of minutes.
All the best,
Glenn B

Just a question, when folks say "Off hand" do you mean a two handed non braced hold, as in the Weaver or isosceles stances? Or do you mean a one handed bullseye stance as in NRA bullseye competitions. I tend to think of "offhand" as the latter.

offhand to me, and as far as i know to the others means, two hands, in your prefered stance no brace or support. i call shooting one handed strong or weak, strong is right hand as i am right handed and weak is my left.
i don't really like to shoot supproted as it tells the accuracy of the gun but it dosen't improve your shooting, and it is not realistic, at 50 and 100yds then yeah i about have too. that is one reason i never used those hammer rest and ransom rest contraptions, as it is cool to know how good your gun can shoot, but i prefer to keep it realistic and have every human factor in there as possible, to see how good I can shoot with it, not how good some machine can.

Colt Delta Elite, freehand, 30ft. I won't say no to a chance at shooting one of these:
25ft with a student's Bersa .380. Who says cheap guns can't shoot?
Sig P220, 15 yards, freehand. Done to demonstrate the differing POI between 185gr CorBon (bottom) and Black Hills 230gr (bullseye).
And, while I know this is the "autoloader" forum, S&W 696, 8 yards, first four cylinders I shot with it, all in DA:
Of course, half my new students think "revolvers suck
," so to prove them wrong, S&W 67 at ~50ft:

This takes a bit O explaining.
Below the top group was shot at 15 yards from a Weaver stance single action and the group below shot with the same two types of ammo but at 25 yards from a Weaver. The holes marked by the felt tip pen were made by Winchester 38 Spl. +P 158 gr. LSWCHP. The holes marked by the ink pen were made by a 148 gr. WC target load. The gun is a S&W K frame M&P what became the M10. The boxes are about 3" square.
For comparason the groups below were shot from a rest at 25 yards but with different ammo. A 148 gr. WC from Black Hills and Speers 158 gr +P jacketed load.

I shot these last Friday after work. Not all that great, but a requirement for an upcoming CCW class is to be able to keep 10rds in a 3X5 index card at 7yds slow fire. I was mainly doing this for the Kahr b/c thats what Ill be using in the class, I just shot the others for the heck of it.
