I believe it more about thinking about Michelle Viscusi than being smooth during draw stroke

The range is closed, cattle in the firing line, right now. After the weekend I went through it would do me some good to send 200+ down range. Mom is on edge too about the weekend and don’t want to make things worse at the moment.
This has been a real sh1tty week and one to forget.
I got these the other day

I need to rotate them into the supply in the cabinet.
Edit: 23 cents per round plus tax on top.

Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad weekend William. Hope things look up for you this week my guy!
Got a bit of training in Saturday in the rain. Put a unity riser on the UMP and rezeroed it. very happy with the change. sadly, was not able to put anything on paper or do the bill drill challenge to post a time this past weekend due to the rain. Everything was on steel. Hopefully the last time we will have to get an overly wet ass on the range. New carport for the range gets here the 4th

Last Saturday. I took a 1972 Zastava M59/66, and a 1953 Soviet Tula SKS-45. A good time was had by all.

My wife & I went today. Got a 7 yard private bay so I could zero my red dot on my G3c. It was 101 degrees! Too flipping hot. My hands were pretty shakey. I really like the red dot. It’s very easy to aquire with both eyes open. If you are even a little bit shakey, that dot really dances! I was popping off rounds pretty quick.

Today! I even shot my ridiculous $100 thug gun, a Phoenix .25 ACP…and shot it well! Total lunacy. My buddy brought some tiny Colt that was hidden in my hand!

I went on Tuesday 6-4. I took my Mini 14 to sight in at 35 yards. I mounted a 1-4x24 LPVO on it. The sight in went fine but I ran into an unexpected problem. I installed a muzzle brake with a removable shroud/sound forwarder/flash can. I was having ejection problems even with 5.56x45 milspec which usually launches into low orbit. Went to another gun while I thought it over. Went back and removed the shroud and everything was back to normal. It would even eject Wolf 62 grain 223. Trying to figure out why the shroud would do that. I am ordering another muzzle brake.
The other gun I went to was my H&R break action 20 gauge. I mounted a red dot on it (not easy) and sighted it in at 15 yards with a rifled 22lr adapter. Worked surprisingly well. A 20 gauge slug hit the same spot. I picked off a few clay pigeon shards on the berm at 35 yards with the 22lr adapter. I need to try the 9mm and 357 adapters next time and get it sighted in at 25 yards…

Due to work and family commitments it had been almost 2 months since I had been to the range and I haven’t been able to get all that much dryfire practice in at home either:( So I jumped at the chance to head out to the monthly practical pistol course at the local range this week.
Along with the usual course, they had set up a new drill. The 5-5-5. There were two 5 inch circles 5 yards away. They don’t allow drawing from the holster so starting with five rounds in the pistol from compressed ready you get the go signal, extend and put five rounds in the first circle, reload and put 5 rounds in the second circle. The goal was to do that in under 10 seconds.
I’m still getting used to my new pistol and had a couple of fumbles that led to over 10 second times. But I was the only one there who was able to do it in under 10 seconds keeping all 10 shots in the circles. Was able to do that several times with my best time being 9.06. I had several 8 second times but they all had one or two rounds just outside of the circle.
It’s always a little more of a challenge with the clock running and a group of people watching. The drill is a good mix of speed and accuracy with a slide lock mag change thrown in.

I was surprised at the feel of the 10-10-10 drill. I now try to do it once each time I go out to shoot.

I need to try both the 10-10-10 and 5-5-5 at the gravel pit where I can incorporate drawing and getting off the X into the mix.
I haven’t formally shot the 10-10-10. Though a little over 10 yards is the range I often shoot my steel targets at. I’m not happy unless my groups fit into a similar size circle as the black zones on a B-8 target. Being able to within that circle seems to be about the right area for increasing the odds of hitting something important in a self defense situation.
