Great video Scott

Great pics and vid!

Scott, I notice you look at the target after every shot.

Don't do that. LOL

+1. Don't do that. Call the shot. Know where it's going/went.

Much easier said then done. I still fight the urge.

I have the ability to shoot tiny groups with handguns until the last shot or so. I'll almost always pull one or two out when I see a tiny group. Why? Cuz I look at the damn target. LOL.

Hmm, I may have to start trying to break that habit. This is the first time I ever heard that advice and seems like it would be a hard habit to break.

That is interesting advice. I honestly just started doing that when shooting handguns. My reasoning- I felt shooting with my dad's single shot bolt action Anschutz has made me a better rifle shot since I am forced to come off the gun, reload, reacquire site picture, readdress fundamentals(breathing control, etc.), then break the shot. I know you are telling and teaching me the correct way, Lord knows I need it. Ever since I got into black rifles a couple of years ago, my pistol shooting has gone downhill.

Did anyone watch that video and count the holes in the roof? So scary.

Ben's pistols, that HK was pretty sweet

I agree but I never advise anyone to get one. It's a delayed-blowback design using chamber flutes and a gas-retarded piston to slow slide opening. It carbon-fouls quicker than a bad AR and *requires* a full cleaning every 200 rounds. The older I get, the less I tolerate high-maintenance guns.

Interesting, I'll have to let my dad know. As I told you, he owns a P7 and I'd bet he hasn't cleaned it 5 times in the 20+ years he's owned it.

There was a butt load of holes in the tin overhead down at the rifle end of the range. That's almost more disturbing than the pistol end having holes in it.

Then let me amend - It requires cleaning if you put 200 rounds of typical (read: fairly dirty) range ammo through it in a day.

I haven't cleaned the pistol since the range day. I'll leave it alone and bring it to the next meetup. As soon as you try to move the slide, you'll understand. Then I'll disassemble it and show you the mechanism. It's a wonderful, slick pistol and if I could only own one centerfire autoloader, it would be that one. The ergonomics are just too good to pass up. But the design requires a person to dedicate themselves to it, to the unique manual of arms, and to obsessive levels of interior cleanliness in order to use the pistol to its potential.

That's definitely German!!!
I appreciate the quality, not so keen on the dedicating my life part. Lol

I'm not doubting you AT ALL... Lol.. I'm just saying I need to let my dad know to get busy on cleaning his.

sounds like my kind of gun.

Here is me shooting a rifle on the 100yard line Handicapped spot...

And here are closeups of that sign... Notice bullet holes in the sign.

GET ME OFF PUBLIC RANGES ASAP!!!!

 

[Sugar Land]

Ben. Thanks for the information on that pistol. It was actually on my list of choices for a 22 SA. I will take it off now.

 

[AaronP220]

I find the Handicap benches too low for me.

 

[Sugar Land]

11 is high it's 12 that is way low.

He's talking about his 9mm HKP7.

 

[Sugar Land]

My mistake. I thought he was referring to what was behind the sparrow.

The Sparrow was hooked up to Cam's Walther P22
