Not today, but yesterday, I spent time at the range. I blew some stuff up real good. I knew I wasn’t going to eat anything, so the onl7y way for me to keep my mind off food was to be shooting, because while I’m shooting I forget about everything else.<\/p>\n

So I’m blasting away, the first (outdoor) range day of 06, and I come to an interesting realization:<\/p>\n

I suck. <\/p>\n

No, I mean I suck, and I suck bad. At the 100yard range, where I can usually keep a three shot group in a 2″ circle, I was throwing out flyers to 10″. I tried swapping to handloads from the factory stuff, to no avail. I tried using a different rifle; same same. <\/p>\n

I switched to 25 yards, just to get some closer holes on the paper- and to my credit, I found that I could put reliably located holes in the paper with my Uberti 45. <\/a>
\nI used to be able to hit what I was aiming at, I swear. I have no idea what happened. I can’t blame it on ammo, because I used great ammo. I can’t blame it on trigger pull, (though the pull is harsh on Ma Bell, my good rifle) because I USED to be able to hit what i was aiming at with her. No, I started to suck over the winter, and I suck now. I’m going to retighten the scope, get some big shoot&see dots, and go back, and see if I can get my skill back to a reasonable level. <\/p>\n

Glad I didn’t go to the 275 yard range and make a total ass of myself. <\/p>\n

Ah, well. More range time. Too bad so sad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
