After a 7 week hiatus I finally made it to the range. My wife has a very serious illness and can't hardly walk so I need to stay real close to home to help her.
I finally got to fire my full size SR1911 and did pretty good with it. I had 2 fliers but the rest of my shots stayed in the 8-10 range which is about 4 inches. My LW Commander however was not quite as good. I had about 8 fliers due to the fact that my muscle memory has dissipated a little due to the fact I haven't been shooting. I was doing double taps and at a rapid fire pace.
The range was warm. Temps here yesterday hit 114 and will continue to be higher this week. Mon through Thurs. supposed to hit 122+. Don't think of coming to Az if you think you have arthritis and the heat will help!!!
I was shooting 230 gr. Berry plated, 4.5 gr. Bullseye, COAL 1.250 and distance was 25 feet. With practice my muscle memory will come back. I like to watch Hickok 45 as I am so envious of his range. The same goes for Jim.
Jim, you are a very fortunate man to have the range you have. Punching paper is fine although hitting metal targets would be so much more fun.
Good luck to all and welcome to all new members!!!
