Belly, you went to the range today to primarily shoot pistol, and you only fired 20 rounds altogether?
I wouldn't have 20 rounds or less for any caliber when going to the range. That might be because I still kinda suck though....I don't like pissing ammo away, but evidently I need more rounds to get my shit together for different guns.
And uh, OBC, if you cut your own hair next time and it doesn't turn out, its not my fault... [Peep]
He only loans it out to people who can make it look good.... Are you sure you're up for it?Quote:

people yelling and screaming
odd elevations
that was a very difficult time.
So basically breathing, trigger control, sight alignment/picture on dry fires? (im quite noob)
Sorry... 20 rounds rifle.Quote:

Pistol, I could care less about the ammo because its so much cheaper! However, when I get my 308 rifle soon, I'll probably be doing just what Belly does, tons of dry fire, and not shooting that much.
There are ways to make sure that you practice these things correctly so that you don't develop bad habits.Quote:

WRONG! He only loans it out when he knows he'll get pictures back...Quote:

Belly, obviously your rifle stuff went well, how'd your pistol stuff go?
i reload match grade .308 ammo for less than 30ยข/round.Quote:

Well, yea, thats still cheap, but when you load pistol for 16cents per round, its more fun to pull the trigger there LOL.
I thought the idea was NOT to gag? I wouldn't know cause that's not my sort of party...Quote:

reconfirm functioning of SHTF pistol ammo
reconfirm I can still hit a target (w/pistol)
run 1-5 drills with pistols
Zero BUIS on carbine
Confirm eye relief of precision AR
confirm proper functioning of new rifle length buffer system

Dude, if there's something you want to know more about, I'll put together a quick little video and YouTube it up. I've already got one on how to build your position for the prone.Quote:

This is the sort of plan that I typically have when I go to the range, but then at the end, I usually put up some steel and burn through ~50 rounds.Quote:

I was only slightly kidding. With pistol, my plan is usually working on smaller groups at 15, 25 and 50yds (they're huge by the way lol), counting rounds, working on trigger discipline (I always let the trigger go all the way and I'm trying to break that habit), malfunction drills, and draw from holster, shoot twice, reholster.
I honestly don't shoot that much rifle lately, out of match 22 ammo, but I have gotten the hang of shooting a gong at 200yds with it (learning holdovers). My AR has a reddot, so I usually shoot irons out at 100yds for groups while working on breathing.
But you're right, I should write down a plan before I go so I know what I'm doing.
I normally go to a range that has quite a bit of steel. Today I needed to be more focused, so I went to one that has very segmented lanes.Quote:

This will be a training scar.Quote:

thats why I ALWAYS do the 1-5 drill.
I've been really surprised how much difference a few grains of projectile weight, and different powder, can really mess with a shooter new to reloading.Quote:

Oh, I totally get that, brother. But we always seem to be trying something new. All of it is fun, but I always want to hit the target....I want to get better, always.
ETA quote highlight.

So I was in the mood for some breakfast sandwiches the other week and was about to buy some at the store, then I saw they sell frozen egg patties, sausage patties and decided i'd make my own (probably healthier that way).
Then I found this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And holy crap!! Crack one egg in the egg cooker, add 1 tbsp milk, a little salt, scramble it, microwave for 1min and out comes a super fluffy egg patty! Toast an english muffin, toss a slice of cheese on it and assemble.
Delicious breakfast, no crap fillers like frozen or fast food joints, and honestly, it tastes better too!
Ya know, just fyi. In case anyone else enjoys breakfast sandwiches and wants a cheaper alternative!
