betterment Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 On a plus note I have found out that there is a nice club with in a hours drive of where I plan on moving. So, once we get to Nebraska and buy a house, I atleast know that there will be an outlet for my shooting. Things are looking up. It might be time to start saving for an STI and a 650 after all...

betterment Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Moved to NE in August. I live less then a half mile from an indoor range, but have not shot since I left PA. I have spent my spare money stocking up on supplies and hope to make it to a match in April. On January 5'th I intend on starting to dry fire again. Just need to get motivated...

betterment Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 It is a good start to do what you say you are going to do. Today -- as I told myself, I would -- I spent a half hour dry firing. I did not use any USPSA targets, just light switches and such. I am finally moving through Brian's book and atleast on paper there are a few things clicking for me. As I begin this second phase of my shooting I have a few more details to be aware of. None the less there are numerous things I need to work on, even in dry firing.

betterment Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's comming back! I feel like if I can afford enough range time and dry fire (purposly) that I can achieve my goal. 2009 shooting goal is to make B class in production (needing to get an XD9tac, so I can shoot factory ammo cheaply; not in the position to have press currently). *Depending on gun "issues/avialibility" I will set my goal as B in Limited 10 (I already have the gun, but ammo is more costly). Draws and front sight focus are feeling good, I should be getting my first range time in 6 months next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterment Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Went to the range today to break in the barrel on my JP. Did not do any pistol shooting but I certainly realize that I will really need to study well to become a good rifle shooter. However, pistol is the primary focus. Just for kicks today I got to shoot a Desert Eagle .50 today...lot of gun, lot of power not much practical application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterment Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 On Tuesday night I shot a single stage match at a local indoor range, not too many pure IPSC guys there but the stage design was pleasant and should be a nice match to go to when I am off. None the less I need to remember to see the top center of the front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterment Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 I just got back from the range today. I brought the .22 out and was interested in just focusing on sight allignment and then doing some strong/weak hand shooting. I was able to accomplish all of that and got to practice alot of malfunction drills as I was shooting a diffrent brand of ammo causing my gun not to cycle properly. It was a little annoying but it was nice to see my reflex's. I shot 200 rds and sure it was only .22 but I think this year atleast, I will be shooting alot of .22 to drill sight picture/alignment into my head and really develope my strong/weak hand shooting. Mix in some 9mm and .40 into the mix and hopefuly with some focus I will be able to maintain the pace and awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
