We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

That's true. But bullet placement is everything, and you have to start somewhere.

If you cannot hit the target at all that is motionless..... how can you expect to ever hit it while it is moving!!??
I think self defence by most here will involve close up confrontations anyway. Criminals are not going to get involved in a long and drawn out shootout as they bob and weave behind cover.

Nice shootin, you and Mom got it figured out, 50 rounds in one target, I don't see a problem with that myself, looks like your instinctive shooting skills are second to none.. Don't see 1 flyer. 50 rounds in one bad guy hopefully never, but why blow out 10 or more targets when 1 serves the purpose.

Most bad guys won't be wearing a 1" orange dot either,or break dancing their way into your range.. control and consistenct is what I see on LEO229's target, personally I like to shoot at atleast 10 to 15 yds, I won't be cutting holes, but someone with a 16" wide body mass will surely get the message.

I allowed myself 10 seconds to do 3 double-taps, fired Weaver. Actual time elapsed was about 4 seconds by my timekeeper's reckoning.

What is more likely to happen to the members here?Falling victim toan armed robbers.. ora mass murder??!
How many mass murders have there been this year anyway?
Mass murderers have little need to escape after their crime. In fact.. they are simply looking for more people to kill and do not want to get away while they reload.
But other criminals want toget awayso they can spend themoney the acquired. I do not see them stopping and engaging you in a gun fight as they probably do not have any more bullets than are in the gun.
Oh...please save your smart ass remarks for something more appropriate. You knew what I was talking about. :uhoh:

Just one is too many, remember mass = > numbers.

I never said there wasn't a need for practice.
However, only practicing what you are good at shooting (blaze orange targets centers @7yrds) is ego boosting and not practice.
Besides doesn't the county (the taxpayers) provide you with free ammo?
I would except you to be a decent shot being a sponsored shooter.

Ah, nothing like marksmanship mastrubation
I decided to do something that I've not done before at the range ...
I had a little bit to clean up when I was done, although I haven't cleaned out the bed of the pick 'em up truck, yet ...

Does this count as good shooting?
I was doing pull and shoot drills, where I would pull and fire two shots in rapid succession.
I did this 3 times at between 20 and 25 feet with a 1911 A1 .45 ACP. The shots to the eye and the mouth were for effect.

This is a pic of my qualifying for my HCP. It was at several distances. I don't remember all of them. I used a Taurus PT99AF 9mm. It was overcast and a light rain. We had to put 6 in the clip at a time for each station. I don't think it was too bad for an old man.
