Greetings and salutations!
I did not post last week's AAR. I've been a bit busy. So I'll give you two for the price of one in this thread. Last week I visited the newer Fletcher Arms range. It sure is a pretty drive out there, especially now that it's Fall.
The leaves around here have turned even more since then. Last week I worked with only my XD9 and Garrison.
I thought I'd try something different. I put four 8" reactive targets on my B-8 target. Then I shot each target at different distances, 5 yards, 7 yards, 10 yards, and 15 yards.
My first four magazines with the Garrison showed an increased low/left as the distance increased.
Since I barely scratched the 15 yard target, I patched it up and sent it back out to try and improve my hits. I guess I did a little better the second time at 15 yards. At least the hits were all on the paper with a few more on the actual target.
Then I switched to my XD9 and shot the small silhouette at 10 yards. I tossed down one flyer to the bullet gods.
I shot a total of four magazines, forty rounds, ten at each bullseye on this silhouette. I was having a really rough day.
So I called it quits. It had been a long day. Earlier I had been doing NRA volunteer work, knocking on doors and writing post cards. The volunteer group had met at the range so I brought my kit in order to have fun afterwards. It was cool to encourage others to support 2A and then practice my 2A.
In my next post will be the AAR from my range practice today. I think I did a little better. We'll see.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
