I figure enough of us shoot recreationally that it might be fun to have an ongoing exhibition of our skill development.

Comments, suggestions, etc. welcome.

I figure 10 rounds at 15 yards is a pretty even baseline to work from- those with a preference for revolvers might standardize to 6 shots, and carbines would probably need a longer range for the same general standard...

Anyway...


I just upgraded to a Sig 229 9mm from my XD.

first day out with it:




(the group on the left is at 7 yards)

hopefully after a few more sessions, I'll get the 15 yard to look more like the 7.

Always room for improvement!



Let's see y'all's best!

WW,

Very good. Average street gunfight is under 7 yrds so you are g2g there.
Only looks like a single jerked shot on the left, where you doing a 6 o’clock hold?
Although, I was told by a little birdie once that if your double taps at 10 yrds
are touching you are firing to slow

That "stray" on the 7 yard was the last shot, after I tried a different grip to correct for the low/right tendency in the previous 9.

I have a lot of further experimenting with various grips and techniques to do, but I'm sure a few thousand rounds down the road will show some better consistency!

Went back to the range solo today, and played around with a few different grips and stances. The first four or five mags all had the same prevailing low/right drift, and I finally contrived a pretty weird stance that seemed to help.





Toward the end, I switched to a single handed grip, and had surprisingly good results!




The last 20 rounds went hail Mary into this recycled "target" I found in the trash at the range's max 25 yards, again, one handed:




Definite improvement.

My goal is to get all 10 rounds into a 4" diameter circle at 15 yards.



Might.

Be.

A while.



I'd love to see some of your guys' efforts, as well!

I used to shoot on .22 league before my S&W was stolen, lot's of fun. Never saved the targets, but I got pretty good at it for an amateur.

Rules are simple, 50 feet, strong hand (one hand), 3 match rounds 10 shots each round, than target is changed

Slow fire: 10 shots, 10 minutes

Timed fire: 2 strings of 5 shots, 20 seconds per string.

Rapid fire: strings of 5 shots, 10 seconds per string.


I broke in to 250's after about a year, could have done better if I practiced more.

I will get a box of ammo and head to the range soon, I still have my .357, hope my shoulder is up to it or I will have to switch hands for good.

train your weak hand, too.
