Here's a video of my range day with my new toy.

I've never competed but would like any input or criticism's on my failure drills.

How did I do for 10 yards?

Should I be closer?

Am I going to fast; too slow?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony.

Thanks for all the input and things to consider. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a bubble. I can't get out and join other shooters frequently and I can only make it to the range on my own schedule. A lot of times that leaves me to practice by myself of with a guest who doesn't have the basics and fundamentals that I have so I don't usually have anyone of better skill than me to compare myself to.

I'm not trying to impress anyone, I would just like some experienced folks to give me the comments that you guys just did. It's more for me to chew on and try and fill in the holes in my shooting skill.

Apparently, the time at the indoor rimfire range at midnight has been useful. I think I'll pack the 22 to the action range next time and spend more time doing these drills.

Thanks again folks.

Tony.

That's a great time to do defensive shooting. Now do it with the lights out. Or just barely bright enough to identify the target. And for the next "failure"? Flashlight goes out just as you start shooting... Good tritium sights are a wonderful thing! You can see a target long after regular sights are completely useless.

My first night shoot at Ft. Benning? No night sights. Ever after? If at all possible!


BTW, I can see where art7 might think you are running slow. The second half of the video is where the speed comes in, but it's hard to see.
That's a great idea! I'll have to try that.

Tony.
