took a visit to the range, no pictures

[vontar]

It had been longer then I wanted, but finally got back out to the gun range yesterday after work.

 

Took my P22 and my PMR30.

Also took my wife.

 

only took about 2 stringers and 50 magnums.

 

It was probably the first time in about a year my wife went shooting.  I was glad to see she had not lost any points.

 

We got there and there was one other family shooting with their young girls.

 

We setup a few tables away.

 

Wife and I talked about safety first, had the range go cold and setup or targets and had a good time.

 

All shooters had no issue having the range go cold to setup/adjust targets.  In short it was a very nice evening.

 

Both guns performed well, with only 1 misfire on the P22 which my wife was able to clear and continue her set.

 

I took limited ammo for a couple reasons,  One I used to take her out with both of us shooting .22lr with a box of 500.  We would shoot the entire box and I always thought she was shooting to fast to really be practicing her aim.

 

With limited ammo, I got her to be more patient and to take her time a bit more and she did much better.  I also felt like I shot tighter groups as well.

 

I also was trying something one of our local Police officers showed me at the range last month.  I found a .40 cal shell on the range, balanced it on my barrel to make sure I wasn't jerking the trigger to hard.  Jerking the trigger has always been one of my issues to work on.

 

All in all, a safe, fun night with improvements all around.  I was glad to see another family no only shooting together and that they appeared to have good safety skills.  I watched some of there shooting and they where hitting their targets good.   I would guess the girls where 10-14.  the youngest was shooting a .22 revolver  while the other was shooting a .45 revolver.
