Thread: Freestyle shooting at 25 yds revisited

  1. #1041
    Don't get discouraged.

    I've found that my two hand shooting was hiding a lot of trigger press mistakes. I read that somewhere....either here or on a bullseye forum. I've started doing most of my dry fire practice one handed only and it's paying dividends at the live fire sessions.

    In the past, one of my biggest mistakes was ambushing the trigger when the sights wobbled to a "just right" position. It took me a while to realize that a smooth, close to perfect trigger press is far more accurate than jerking the trigger ambushing it. I cringe at all the ammo I blasted away over the years ambushing the trigger.

    I'm not seeing low and left hits like I used to....and I consider that progress. I credit that to dry fire and advice I've read on this and other forums.

    Doing more body weight and dumbbell workouts too. I'm finding that the more of that I do, the easier it is to hold the sights steady and my arthritis seems to hurt less when triggering off .45 rounds with the G41. Trying to eat better....more water......more of all that jazz.

    Regards.

    @lwt16 , you inspired me to give the 25yd SHO thing a try. I started today's session with the FBI Bullseye Course. First with my G45, then with my 92A1. I'll post those targets below, but after that I tried the SHO thing with the G45. Not bad for a first try I guess. Plenty of room to improve:

    Just some freestyle B8's for score:

    Trying out a new Dawson setup on G45, 779 (training gun). .105 wide x .205 tall front with .115 notch x .225 tall rear. POI height looks good vs POA. I like the way it looks and being able to see the target behind my front sight, but I think that caused my front sight focus to waiver a bit too as evidenced by this crappy 25yd group. Time will tell:

    I purchased a 19X from one of our forum members here. Finally got time to take it out the other day. I’m still amazed how accurate these 19s are. This was shooting inexpensive, dirty, Remington 115 grain ammunition.

    Shot a triple 10, CSAT pistol standard then this 10 round B8 from 25 yards. It was 24 degrees and over a foot of snow on the range so I was getting pretty cold. I’m anxious to run it harder once it starts to warm up around here.

    Pretty sure this doesn't make major, but a 4.5 grain charge of bullseye with a 200 grain semi-wadcutter sure is accurate and puts a lot of fun into the zen like art of slow-fire. I fired 5 rounds at the 20 yard line because it was the furthest the range allows, so not a genuine 25 yard group...and maybe that's just a four round group if I whiffed the fifth way off target....but I didn't call any misses so I'm pretty sure that's all 5.

    Not gonna win any Camp Perry matches but, it does reinforce my bias about the 1911 and why it is awesome.

    I just can’t seem to get anything better than a 97

    My rear sight looks like it isn’t centered like it was. It’s pushed a tad to the left.
