When my son and I visited the range this week, one of my plans was to try out some different grip modules for the guns. I had acquired the small sized grip for the full size P320. The smaller grip circumference is closer to that of the P226 I’ve been s…

I’ve been fortunate of late to be able to get out to shoot frequently. Schedules change, so I’m taking advantage while I can. This week’s trip to the indoor range turned was one of the more crowded times I’ve seen recently. In actuality, there weren’t …
Yep, that about sums it up.

I spent the morning standing at the workbench cleaning the guns we shot the past few weeks. There are worse ways to spend a rainy Saturday morning I suppose. (There are better ways too, like shooting them.) I had planned to clean just one. Then I grabb…

My son and I got out for another fun visit to the range this week. As I was gathering the gear, I was undecided which gun I wanted to shoot this trip. To solve that dilemma, I simply brought several! And we shot them all.

It’s like putting on a pair of pants and finding money I didn’t realize I had! While at the indoor range this week I discovered I had not unloaded all the magazines from the weekend’s match. So instead of the planned 150, I got to shoot an extra 30 rounds! It really is the little things that make life fun.
This trip I started out running the Julie Golob 50 drill. After that, the remaining 100 130 rounds were devoted to working on sight alignment and trigger control on some splatter targets at 7 yards. I have mixed feelings regarding the definition of success with those drills. On one hand, I kept all the shots in the 5″ circle. On the other hand, the holes were generally in the lower left quadrant of said 5″ circle.
Near the end of my time I realized I was sweating almost as much as I would be if I was at the outside range as there is no air conditioning at the indoor facility. Perhaps I should stick with the outdoor range. Therein lies a conflict — shooting on the move is forbidden at either venue. However, indoors I am permitted to fire strings of more than 2 rounds. On the other hand, outdoors I can hang two targets and shoot both, but I’m limited to one round on each per string of fire. But I can draw from the holster.
Sigh, there’s got to be a better way…

“It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”Actually, it’s the heat too. July’s IDPA match at Cavalier featured both heat and humidity, in addition to four really fun stages. A brief rain shower right when shooting started only added to the oppressive typic…
