I didn’t think I was going to get in my “fix” this week, but some time opened up Thursday afternoon. I got to the range later in the day that I usually do, and had the place to myself for most of my visit. I might shift my timing a bit if this holds true in the future.

This time I had packed some of the colors & shapes targets for something a little different. I also figured it wouldn’t hurt to force myself into some slower, more precision shooting with the Compact SIG.

Running through a hundred rounds, shooting the various spots on the paper was an interesting experiment in patience and concentration. I varied my speed at times, noting how precise of a sight picture I needed to keep the hits in the color. Even at 7 yards it was easy to drift out. I found it very interesting that my tightest groups were on the small yellow circle; an aiming point that I found it extremely difficult to distinguish — the required extra concentration surely making a difference.

Eventually I felt the need to speed things up a bit, so the practice was concluded with a quick 50 round Julie Golob drill.

It was fun, then I had to go back to work…

I was anxious to get back on the proverbial horse this week after some disappointing (and some good) shooting at last weekend’s Commonwealth Cup match. I took an actual lunch break on Monday and drove up to the local indoor range. Entering the parking …
