Thanks oldfart!  I was looking at that big hole on your target and was gonna ask if I could get some pointers from you sometime.

Anyone breaking into my house will have to deal with a lot more surprises than just an XD9.

=========================
The big hole is from bigger bullets.

Can you shoot like that coming up from a low-ready position under a clock?
At 25 yards, try one shot in 3 sec. Then try 1 shot it in 2 seconds.
Then try 2 shots in 3 sec.
Challenge your friends to a contest. Loser buys lunch.
There is nothing like a little friendly competition.

I remember some years back, the pistol range was closed so we all had to shoot handguns on the rifle side.
We played a golf ball game. We threw a golf ball out about 20 yards and took turns shooting it.
The first guy to hit it past the 50 yard line is the winner. I used the same SW 9mm pistol with 147 gr.JHP ammo.

The range was more fun back then.

1. Swedish M96 with Swedish surplus ammo (5 shots)
2. Swedish M96 with handloads (5 shots)
3. M1 Garand with handloads (8 shots)
 

Was pretty stoked when I shot this ten shot group with my rem 700 @ 100yrd using my .308 175smk handloads still messing around with oal to see if I can tighten it up more

Nice. Get some Lapua instead of G.I. brass and I bet it'll tighten up

Thanks spanner. I got some LC match brass I was gonna try before I think about spending around 80 bucks on lapua brass.

Here's some old targets I kept around. It's from Royal Hawaiian Shooting club. Went by during this past apec. First time shooting these guns so no laugh. Consistently inconsistent I call it.

Weird, I dunno how add more then 1 picture to a post. Here's the 44mag they got.

Glock 17.

Hk 45 rifle. This gun is sweet, wish I had one like this.

not bad. How far were you shooting from?

Thanks. I have no idea of their range distance.

SL8 or UMP?

If its 45 then must be a USC or converted UMP

The M852 brass with the knurling around the case near the base is pretty good stuff. You also could give Berger bullets a try. I haven't tried any .308s myself, but some say that they're better than Sierras.
 

S&W 686 6" revolver- 50 rds of .38
Ruger Mark III Hunter-100 rds of 22lr
Glock 22 - 20 rds of .40 and 20 rds of 9mm (change barrel)

Two 8" targets.

Bullets were just flying all over the place. Seems like the more I practice the worse I get. Maybe I just need to take a break and reevaluate.

 

wow
nice

5 shots @ 100yds
t/c contender carbine
7 x 30 imp

My 10yr. Old sons target at 25ft.  Sig 1911 .22

Nice job by your son!

I think I did pretty good today. I realized all my gun sights are good, just my handling is poor. I need to find new techniques to practice.

I just bought a 18x telescope/binocular ($37) that attached to my HTC One phone. The images are amazingly clear.

6" target.

Ruger Mark III 5"- 22lr.
