Rate me: first range experience

[l3asturd]

Wow. I recently took my G21 out and at 20 yards I only hit probably 50%. I am skeptical but impressed! I personally don't like my G21 anymore after shooting a compact kimber. That thing made me feel like a match shooter.

Over 300 posts, but you've only shot one time before this? What were all the other posts about?

I like to do my research before I buy. :d

You should get some formal training with an instructor. You have some real potential. I have never seen ANYONE do that on their first try, I have only seen it done a few dozen times all by experienced competitors.

You're either a good troll or just ****ing retarded. Please stop posting you are embarrassing yourself.

No offense, but there is no way someone whose shot pistols 3 times in their life could shoot a 1/2" group 20 yards away......this is 60 feet away!

This, Period.

I am a noob, been shooting for as many months are on one hand.
The first target has a 1" group at 10 yards with 2 flinches. It is doable, I did the same the first time I shot my G22.
The second target is a 5" group at 20 yards. Done that too.
Nice shooting

Be careful when you ask for feedback, not all of it will be constructive obviously.

The smaller groupings on the first picture were 10 yards and the second picture in the second post was 20 yards..much farther apart but I can see that it was confusing to read. Sorry about that

You're the one that came in here and started bashing me so don't try and preach to me about being mature. I didn't come in here because I thought I shot well, I came in here to ask for feedback. There is no reason for you to comment if you're just going to bash me, especially if you aren't even mature enough to handle it being thrown right back at you.

Nice little group. Dont get too caught up on that tho.

Focus on consistency and shot placement and practice.. If your range allows it follow up shots.

I once got a 15 yard 3 shot single hole 4" low 2" left with my glock.. I flinched like a MF and just happened to hit the same spot 3 times.. Another reason groups aren't that important because 80% of the time its luck unless you can do that 2 to 3 times over again.

Just keep up the practice! happy shooting.

impressive shooting if it really was 20 yards on the second pic.

not trying to bash, just i have yet to see someone pull a nice group like that with their first handgun (let alone a glock where most people shoot low left) ^_^

This is the first one I have owned. I shot either a 17 and a 19 for a box or two a few years back. I really noticed that I had to aim high and to the right but I had no idea what I was doing seeing as it was my first time ever shooting. I did a little research on proper technique so I think that helped, but I still have alot to learn and I definitely want to take a basic handgun course.

No rapid fire unfortunately, and I'm not sure I would even be able to keep it on target being a .45

Not really buying it myself. I liken the post to the kid who get's a 100% on his test asking everyone else how they did. If the OP got all of his skills through research, not practice, then his research should have already told him those are stellar groups and the post would be unnecessary.

Nothing I read mentioned anything about groupings at different distances or what would be considered good. Honestly just asking.
