Hellcat
I got to the range a little later than I wanted to (a little past noon) due to family phone calls. It wasn't overly peopley, but just enough so that I couldn't get the lane with the bench and supports for zeroing in dots. I also had to watch a safety video and fill out a range waiver (they have to be done there once per calendar year - mine must have just expired). I figured I would fake it with the Echelon's dot for now and see how she shot.
First up, the new one of course
Right out of the gate she was pretty accurate . I didn't adjust anything.
The first three shots at 15 yards, slow but with no support...
Same target with three more holes, 15 yards. It does need adjustment, but I will do that next weekend up north.
I unloaded the rest of the mag and the other two while chasing that little green dot around. The circle helped, but the guys in the two lanes next to me firing ARs did not. They were horribly loud.
That Echelon shoots so nice! I was a little concerned that the trigger would be like my Hellcat, but it wasn't. It was crisp and light with a short, light reset.
Next up was the Masada and more chase the dot! Actually it wasn't so bad, but the long guns kept making me jump. Made some good Swiss cheese. 15 yards.
Yeah...apparently we need more consistent practice/training
Finally the VP9SK...
Less Swiss cheese with iron sights...things that make you go "hmmm". Ah well, just shows how much I need to get with the program and be more consistent with practice. I did not vary distance today. 15 yards all.
All in all, I felt real good afterward. I know I need work, and once things settle down with the family and I retire, I plan on being at the range at least twice a week. There's an outdoor range not far from here that I learned about at the gun show which is less expensive than the one I belong to, we want to check that out. Also, the husband's cousin is going to reopen his 300 yard range this weekend, so we are going to shoot the long guns
.
That was my afternoon...as per usual, all advice is welcome.
