It was easier today, since I had more insight into the mental challenge of the drill. Glock 47/RMR HD and Lawman 124.

Watching with interest. Were you able to call your shot on the miss?Originally Posted by GJM

I wasn't able to, but it was on the second string which seems hardest, and all the shots felt less comfortable. String one just happens shooting subconsciously, but on string two I need to transition to conscious shooting, which is harder. After the second string, I know what I need to do consciously.
If it were USPSA, that "miss" would count since it breaks the line, but I am more interested in what I feel and learn than a score.

Love the idea behind this drill
49/50 called the miss with federal 115gr Champion.
Seems I could stand to adjust my zero a tad left
Apex barrel and trigger, you cheated! Before I moved the zero, I would see where your main/carry load shoots.

Yesterday, I had a conversation with a friend and fellow forum member, about this drill and where we think it might go. We agreed that the goal isn’t to be able to just shoot, taking all day, but rather to be able to roll the trigger through and shoot these shots into the black of the B8 at a relevant speed. Today, with the recent mental success of landing shots in the black over the last few days, I started rowing through all 10 shots without stopping the trigger. I actually surprised myself about what good hits were possible at a pretty fast speed. I am interested to see where this goes, although I can say for sure that shooting tuxedo targets almost exclusively otherwise at practice today, the shooting, which is usually pretty hard, felt much easier.

Ah, good point. 124gr HST is basically right on the money so I might as well leave it be.
Tried again today and got the same result....but this time SHO with a .22lr to try to seriously lock in on my trigger control. 49/50

1. The Ruger has a terrible stock trigger
2. That doesn't matter if you press the trigger consistently.
3. The dot wobbles around a lot
4. That doesn't matter much either if I just press the trigger consistently.
5. That the score between a rimfire SHO and my M&P freestyle are similar.
The hope from this is (in untimed, accuracy oriented shooting) that the trigger control improvements in one carry over to the next and I can therefore substitute a good chunk, though not all, of my distance shooting using a 9mm, with SHO 22lr practice as the conditions of such practice dont require great recoil control or manipulation of the pistol (draws/reloads/transitions)
This will hopefully free up more ammo for practice that does clean up recoil control, handling and manipulation of controls
My SHO shooting has always been pretty bad. I tend to smack the trigger a bit more than I should which shows up in longer shots more often.
