Have fun!

I just finally read this thread a couple weeks ago and have been trying it. I was pretty rusty but today was my best effort with 5 shots outside the circles. Thanks for putting this out there.

The more we shoot with a purpose, the better we gradually become. For me, even as much as I enjoy shooting, life gets busy and I struggle to find time to go grind out some skill drills. It's no different than a diet or exercising, you have to be disciplined enough to set some time aside. Interestingly, when I do go shooting I usually feel more relaxed and refreshed when I'm done. That transcends into other things and is a nice bonus.

Shot some drills today. Shot the 5x5 drill, the 5 yard roundup drill and the FBI Q Course. Shot a 95% on the FBI qualification with an M&P 2.0 Compact 9mm. I need to tweak the sights slightly, it shoots a touch left.

Shot the Casino Drill and the FBI Q Course today. Shot the Casino five times and cleaned it three times. The two times I ran over time was because I shot it out of sequence once and got sloppy and had two close misses on another run. Penalties add one second per offense and pushed me over the 21 second par time.

The FBI Qualification went 94% and 93% on the two runs I shot. My son shot 90% twice. Again I was shooting the M&P 2.0 Compact 9mm.

Nobody doing any defensive handgun shooting... ever?

Ive got a pack of those dot torture targets. They certainly show your weaknesses quickly. Havent done it in a couple years, definitely a little rusty

Shooting in a time of an ammunition shortage such as we are experiencing now it should be more important than ever to make our range time count and maximize our efforts. These skill drills can do that.

Not much noise from the defensive handgunners...

Been shooting a little. Paper is necessary but boring, like for load workup at 25 yards. 124 PD JHP V2.



I prefer steel. Forgot to bring a little screwdriver to change adjust my zero for these new loads.

Not sure how I missed this, Dirty Dog that is a solid working rig! I'm a recent convert to the dot sights. So far, so good I really like the optic sight.

On the training side of things, once getting the new pistol with the dot sight I have put about 1400 rounds through it running various drills in the last month or so. Feels good to be shooting centerfire again instead of being in the "save what ammo I have" mode from the past couple of years. I shot a lot of rimfire the last couple years. Because of the ammo situation I milked the centerfire stuff and shot it very conservatively. Things are slowly getting better and I am taking advantage of the availability and lower prices.
