First time live firing in a month. Ran this 4 times in my allotted hour at the range.
1 - 3 - 17 yds - misses @ ?, ? 17 (16 rds)
2 - 5 - 17 yds - misses @ 14, 15, 17 (16 rds)
3 - 6 - 18 yds - misses @ 16, 18, 19 (16 rds)
4 - 7 - 16 yds - misses @ 13, 17, 17 (13 rds)
17 yds seems to be my wall. And sometimes, when I miss I miss big. Last shot on the first round was the tape in 'card' #2. Had no idea I pulled it.
Manchester Firing Line, NH (60 feet max)
5 yards to 20 yards
Walther PPS 9mm (my normal carry piece)
B29 target backer (reduced B27)
First run - one miss at 14 yards, the second at 16. Maximum distance reached 18 yards.
Second run (shown below) - starting at 20 yards, one miss at 16 yards, ending at 6 yards. Maybe I'll try it again with my 5906.
I started at 7 yards. I don't think I moved exactly a yard each time. The two misses off to the left were around 18 yards. The shot just below the head was the last shot, fired at 25 yards. My last hit on the card would have been about 23 yards. Pistol used was my issued M&P40/TLR with 180 grain Winchester ball.

Tried two more times today. Beretta PX4CC
First run: started at 7y and ended on a miss at 20y because that was the 16th round. Farthest hit was 19y.
Second run: started at 15y and ended with three misses at 24y. Farthest hit was 23y.
ETA: looking at the second run, I might have missed at 23 and stepped back anyway thinking it was a hit.

Forgot to mark what distances misses were at. Definitely liked this drill. My tendancy to shoot left is still present.
Started at 5yds, farthest shot made was 14yds.

4/28 Shot this with my G19 (#2)
Started at 7 yards and cleaned them all until 17 yards. Made that on the second shot. Missed 3x at 18 yards, finishing with 15 of 16 rounds fired.
Glad this is coming back, I really needed it. Struggling with the new pistol compared to the CZ75. I don't know why but glock is shooting high. I think some of it is the gun, but most of the misses are due to me. Gonna keep running this drill plus dots to keep improving fundamentals.

Was unhappy with stopping at 18 yards last time. Reshot with G19 (#2).
Started at 10 yards this time. Missed once at 12 and 17 yards, calling the 2nd miss right. Hit ay 18 yards, but bombed out at 19 yards after 3 misses. Small progress!
I need to really focus on the fundamentals of trigger and sights here, but also a great opportunity to practice calling shots and tracking sight. Need to be more conscious about that in this drill. Small progress today, hope to keep pushing this out past 25 yards over time.
5/13 shot this again with the Glock 19 (#2)
Started at 10 yards. Did fine until I missed 3 times in a row at 22 yards. Progress!
Getting more used to the new POA/POI, plus I think my fundamentals are just improving. Guess the dryfire is helping me acclimate to the glock more.

Shot this twice with my G19 (#2)
First run was terrible. Started at 10 yards, made my 3rd attempt at 12 yards and missed 3x at 13 yards. With remaining 8 shots, started over and ended up at 15 yards to refocus myself on fundamentals.
Second run was again starting at 10 yards. Clean until I needed 2 shots for 16 and 17 yards, then hit my last shot of 3 at 21 yards.
Definitely seeing improvement overall compared to a few weeks ago! Was also good to see that my groupings seemed to be slightly better even comparing runs 1 and 2.
