I figured you were doing what you are doing because it helps your pistol-craft. Oh yeah, it's also a lot of fun. We always shoot longer ranges (50 - 100 yards) for fun with the handguns. You'd be surprised what you can do at that range with regularity. Oh, did I mention it's fun? lol45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-60970815882099023542012-04-02T19:19:22.467-07:002012-04-02T19:19:22.467-07:00Today is the first time my groupings from distance...Today is the first time my groupings from distance started to resemble a group.agirlandhergunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369419666474343639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-40044005426538460632012-04-02T19:18:21.663-07:002012-04-02T19:18:21.663-07:0045er, I am not looking for trouble.

I started shooting at beyond 20 years because some trainers told me to and I keep doing it because I am very good and I don't like that:). I pretty much do what I can't do until I can.agirlandhergunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369419666474343639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-92113574369718033642012-04-02T19:09:21.567-07:002012-04-02T19:09:21.567-07:00Oh yeah, and great shooting!

If so, it may be just where the round is hitting from that range.45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-66400293319435699492012-04-02T19:08:08.708-07:002012-04-02T19:08:08.708-07:00Shooting past the 20 yard line is a great way to h...Shooting past the 20 yard line is a great way to hone your pistol skills. It is a way to fine-tune your trigger press, breathing and grip. However, I always tell people to use caution when considering any shot outside of 15 yards in a defense situation. In other words, they'd better be doing something horrifying or practically shooting at you (or about to). I guess what I'm saying is I use longer distance shooting as a way to train for my shorter distance defensive shooting. If you need to use it out that far, then it's good if you can make the hits, but I want to think through any scenario (beforehand) that might have me taking that kind of shot.45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-4653263551626026032012-04-02T13:51:52.225-07:002012-04-02T13:51:52.225-07:00Also, I will hit one playing card at 25 yards one ...Also, I will hit one playing card at 25 yards one of these days.

I meant I am passed the confidence of just being able to hit a target, any target. That was the main reason Newbius brought the plate. I was really just trying to share a memory of Newbius more than anything.agirlandhergunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369419666474343639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-14829930474606019592012-04-02T13:29:32.957-07:002012-04-02T13:29:32.957-07:00I think the paper plate drill is good for more tha...I think the paper plate drill is good for more than just getting hits on paper... if you can develop the ability to make a small group in the center of the plate without a bullseye or other mark to aim at... that's a good skill... like the old "aim small, miss small" saying...<br /><br />If you have to aim at a man in a black shirt or a red jacket, are you aiming at the whole person's torso... or at the center of the center of the torso... just a thought... unless we could get the bad guys to wear bullseyes...<br /><br />Dann in OhioGod, Gals, Guns, Grubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289354729286002247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-56424490103641177892012-04-02T11:58:08.663-07:002012-04-02T11:58:08.663-07:00Kirk, when I attended my course at Innovative Defe...Kirk, when I attended my course at Innovative Defensive Solitions last month, both of the instructors said I should be shooting passed the 20 yard line, with my pistol.

It worked, but really I am passed the I need to see myself hit the target. I really can shoot pretty well and now want to get better, much better. I think the problem with distance is I can't see. You will have to believe me or ask any of the very qualified people I shoot with, my grib is good, I have a steady hand, I don't anticipate or jerk my trigger pull. I wouldn't say never, but the fundamentals are not my issue. I need to work on breathing better I think...agirlandhergunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369419666474343639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-22877784491703364152012-04-01T21:32:18.439-07:002012-04-01T21:32:18.439-07:00Try a 9" paper plate... center of mass size e...Try a 9" paper plate... center of mass size every time...<br /><br />Dann in OhioGod, Gals, Guns, Grubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289354729286002247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-25653081043390195122012-04-01T19:02:19.700-07:002012-04-01T19:02:19.700-07:00keep 6 hit inside the card at 7 yards, from the hi...keep 6 hit inside the card at 7 yards, from the hip, and we'll talk. :PCritterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452486400885521156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-16148564205314310032012-04-01T18:21:50.789-07:002012-04-01T18:21:50.789-07:00Just a tad bit... :-)Just a tad bit... :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-7449834788119890872012-04-01T17:55:32.111-07:002012-04-01T17:55:32.111-07:00Lol, ok.
