Nice day Saturday…
I think I shot a 405-2X – they havn’t posted the scores yet.
Afterwards we held a pistol match and I had brought along Old Betsy, the Colt 1909 New Service. She acquitted herself pretty well too although again I don’t know the score, other people shot better and I don’t know how low I finished in the standings.
We shot from 50 yards and then 25, and from each distance I got an X which surprised hell out of me.
Old Betsy’s a pretty thing.

Maybe if I trained, I could even do it with regularity? The target looks too-cool with all the big caliber holes, even my wife was impressed.

50 yards with a revolver? Awesome you hit the target at all. That X shot is too much fun, accidental or not.

I’m sure the X was accidental! >The range is especially nice at this time of year, soon it will turn brown and stay that way until next December. Already the mirage during the second relay (11:30) was enough to overpower my Meopta spotting scope.

Getting an X @ 50 yards with a handgun is certainly nothing to sneeze at! Even at 10 yards my groups look like crap, but like Scott says, the guy would be dead…

Hi Scott, thanks! Sorry I didn’t post any target pictures but mainly the weather was nice and I’m getting the feeling that targets get boring.>The pistol match was kinda fun and I’m surprised I did get the few X’s at those distances!

Always nice to hear about your shooting. I went out in the desert and tried out my scrounged parts target stands. Not very impressed with my shooting, but if it was a guy, he’d be dead. I’ll post it in a few days I guess.
