range report 12/11

Went out yesterday for some practice at the range. Shot sixteen .22 targets and 8 .45 targets. Also put 20 rounds through the STI with no jams. I'm slowly getting better with the .45 but it is still a real challenge to keep all my shots on target at 50'. I'm getting more in the black, but I'm still throwing flyers. The .45 really requires a completely different technique than the .22 to shoot well. I find that my grip and my trigger control are completely different. Anyway, pretty good session with the .22, shot over 800 match score so I was happy with that.

range report 12/4

Shot some more with the Ruger this last weekend using Eley Sport. No jams. The last few sessions had seen Eley Sport jam on me a few times with failures to feed. No problems this time. Seems like running some Wolf MT through all the mags really helps to lube them up with 'Wolf Snot'. Shot very well in slow-fire but dropped some points in the rapid fire. I also shot the 45 but the scores aren't even worth mentioning here; I still am shooting like a shotgun at 20 yards with the 45 against the B2 and B3 targets.

The izzy is still at EAA awaiting the doubling fix. Hopefully I get it back before the year's end, but we'll see. At least I have the Ruger in the meantime.

November match

My lovely wife joined me on the firing line. I shot a borrowed Buckmark with a dot for this match with some Aguilla ammo that probably wasn't the best. Ended up losing the 22 match by only 2 points! Still struggling with the 45...
