@alpster , what gun are you shooting? RDS?

I had a good session today, shooting my Ruger Mk II with Volquartsen trigger and Burris Fastfire 3 RDS, shooting two handed. I'm getting closer to being able to return to one handed shooting.

I've been putting hundreds of arrows down range each week as I get ready for the NH Senior Games. My best WA 900 / FITA 900 round is 793. I've been gently tweaking my sight as I focus on form. The sight's right where it is supposed to be and I'm closing in on 9 points per arrow. Tomorrow I'm planning to send 90 to 120 arrows into the 60-yard target. Want to get my 60-yard average above 8.7 per arrow. I'm hoping to be hitting in the low to mid 800s by July.

Here's the latest rollup.

 

[Bob L.]

I did my WA900 archery match yesterday. Had a great time.

• No misses
• I learned a lot about shooting through super saturated air/high humidity air. It really slows down arrows. Felt like I was driving them through pudding. We had some of the best archers in the state there and none of us were hitting high. The air got thicker as the day progressed. But it didn't rain!
• Over 50% of my hits were in the X, 10, and 9 rings across all three ranges. 90 arrows... 30 each at 60, 50, and 40 yards
• Only 6 hits in the 7, 6, and 4 rings. My two 6 and 4 hits were caused by a muscle twitch. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
• I even won a medal. Life is good.

Met some fine people and we all had fun.

Does anyone have bullseye scores to add?

Sounds like a fantastic time!

I have just been so busy this summer, I haven’t even had time to think about it…. Yet anyway. My plan is to get my red dot that I had on the Buckmark on top of my MKIV get it sighted in and then get some weekly scores up in bunches. But as of late, every time I think about doing it, something very important comes up that needs to be addressed right away.

Certainly these things that are preventing me from getting in with it can’t keep popping up and spoiling my plans indefinitely? I’m sure a break will be coming soon and I will get the opportunity to get my pistol up and going at the range and get some scores posted.

This is my story also and I’m sticking to it.

I'm getting over a late case of Covid but I hope to be able to resume shooting again soon. Congrats on your archery match results!

I’ve been down with Covid 4 different times before your first. I am doing something wrong…

Sorry to hear about the Covid.

 

[nortac]

Thanks, I’m over Covid but the wife is in the hospital (not Covid) and so I’m in a holding pattern for now.

 

[Bob L.]

Sorry to hear about your wife. Been there and done that. Hope she gets better soon.

 

[nortac]

Thanks

Bump! It's been too damn hot and other life events have intervened for me to post scores recently. I notice no one else has either. Shall we leave this an open ended time frame, delay until cooler weather, etc?

This sounds like an awesome idea imo. Other than the heat I got medical stuff going on that I am having to address and can’t even begin focusing on getting to the range right now.

 

[eightysixCJ]

Sounds good to me. Between work and home, not getting the range time I want/need. I did make it to my range a few times to sight in and play with the P365 XL I got in anticipation for my CCW permit. Got it on my Premises Permit. Love the gun, still waiting on my CCW permit (10.5 months now since submission of all the paperwork and required training, and I‘ve had a Premises handgun permit for 15-years and a long gun permit for 30-years from the same agency…)

for all your health issues.
