A little comparison today. Shot the MK3 with the Mueller Quickshot reflex-style red dot and the IZH-35m (izzy!) with stock iron sights. Guess who won? The izzy!

Today was a lot of shooting in preparation for my first match coming up this Sunday. Have to admit I'm anxious, so I wanted to see what I could do today. Cleaned the Ruger very well hoping for fewer jams. Also brought several other kinds of ammo with me. Tried out some Winchester Super-X standard velocity and Federal Automatch. The Federal seemed to run pretty well with only one stove-pipe, while the Super-X had two. But the good thing was that I encountered no 'slam-jams' when I fully loaded 10 rounds. I did notice that the modified magazine that sits lower in the well occasionally missed picking up the first round. The other magazines ran fine.

Everything felt good today, I had a lot of confidence. I got a bit sore during the slow-fire sections but I'm shooting four targets in a row, which won't happen in a real match.

On to the scores...

Rapid fire: 71,87-3x,63,53,73,70,73,39,71-2x,77,84,69,69,73,71-1x,69,65,76-1x,77-1x,70,76,66,74,67,57,59,59,74. avg. 69

Sighted in the Ruger today, which helped a lot. Didn't shoot my highest but I had a lot of jams, including a new mode of failure with the bolt smashing the second round which is feeding too high when I use 10-round-loaded magazines. Short-loading to 5 rounds seemed to cure the problem, but I still has some stove-pipes. Distracting...
