Well my groupings are getting much better with both my .45 and the .308, range time really is paying off. I'm still on the 50yd with the M1A, but only using irons, I was very pleased with my rifle yesterday. Also with the handgun on the short range stuff I've gotten rid of that low left shooting and now I've got a group that is more of a cloud in the center, so much better. Focusing on the front really helps a lot too :)
Anyway, went to the range with several friends, also trying to introduce a couple to shooing a rifle and one to shooting anything. Did the 40yd tin can range, also heard that a few people were bitching about their cans/jugs getting shot by someone else? Not sure about who or why that was though.
I did pull of an awesome 3 shot, I hit a coke can, it flew up the hill, hit it again, it flew left, then hit it one more time. That was sweet. :D
Also let the new shooter try a shotgun with slugs, that was hilarious, he he such a limp grip he practically lost the gun, whipped his head and everything. He said he had shot a shotgun a few times before, but I don't think so. I corrected his posture, he didn't even have the stock into his shoulder lol
Anyway, all in all another great day of shooting, a bit over 4hrs of range time and oh my god way too much money in ammo. edit: Oh yeah, and I don't think I'm taking any more friends to shoot my M1A, ammo's too costly, I need more rangetime alone.
BTW: Blazer brass .45 ACP at the Milpitas Wal Mart is like $10 a box, I got 10. :)
