A little bit of target shooting


Hi,

Hunting season is over!

I was out this morning in the fog and mist to pistol shoot.  I need to start practicing for the Bowling Pin matches that start the second weekend in March.  I shot a .22 cal Ruger SR22.  Very nice.  I was happy with my shooting at the metal plates.  I am practicing on speed of shots between targets.  Moving the gun to the next target, bringing the gun under control after a shot (which is very easy with a .22 cal) and shooting accurately.  Later I will work on bringing the gun for the ready position (barrel on the table) to the first target, acquiring the target and shooting.  This motion is where I find I need the most work on, which will being down my overall time.  I will have to decide which of my .22 to use for the matches.

I also shot my husbands newest revolver.  The 7 shot .357 S&W.  It is very accurate.  I had a good time shooting it single action.  When I tried the double action pull, I felt that the trigger sat to far forward.  My finger did not sit fulling on the trigger pull.  Bruce had no problem with the double action and was kidding me about my complaint.  Well!  he's got a bigger hand, what can I say??  Plus it is his gun.  I am not worried.

Take care, good shooting and good hunting.
M.
