Good shootin Don. With that shot placement a .22 would work just fine lol.

Ryan do you guys get to practice often?

[MrSplitshot]

Alright Tex, I'll critique you since everybody else is afraid of ya now. LMAO! Notice how most of your groups trend to the left just a little bit? Try experimenting with a little more trigger finger (not just the pad) next time and see if it will pull them back to the center a bit. I've been told that if a right handed shooter is pushing groups a bit low/left, that he's using a bit too little trigger finger and maybe jerking the trigger a bit.

I'm usually just the opposite. I tend to be high/right...which is supposedly recoil anticipation.

Make sure to remember the exacts of it all, because when a drunken crack-addict jumps you behind a Waffle House at 2 in the morning you want to make sure you shoot a good bullseye score.

I'm just razzing you of course. Nice shooting. All kill shots indeed...you're first group must have been a doozy, because it blew the head clean off that target.

You know I always shoot left! LOL man I have tried closing my left eye, my right eye, changed my grip, changed my stance, controlled my breathing and even positioned my head differently but still shoot left.
I guess I might have to just shoot more? LOL Lets go!!!

Wonder if that crack junkie will hold still for me? Hey if we go to Buds we better bundle up cause he must keep the AC on all year! I froze my left...uhh earlobe off!

Through my engineering genius, I've just sat here and solved your problem Don...can't believe I didn't think of this before. Just before you pull the trigger, take a 1/2 step to the right. LMAO!

I'm game for going shooting. I'm on vacation all next week, so give me a holler! We'll take THE STANG! (Uhh, as long as it's not snowing.)

Got it covered man, I have decided to wear a scuba belt weighted on the right side! I just hope it doesn't matter to you thst it's pink!

Not any more. With Jerry and the price of ammo we shoot maybe a 100 rounds a year. I can remember when I first came on I could go to the range and shoot as much as I wanted. My buddies would give me as many rounds as I could shoot for as many calibers as I wanted with the exception of .22. I can remember leaving the range, when my fingers were so sore from loading and shooting that it hurt to grip the steering wheel. That is a lot of shooting.

If you were going camping and wanted to shoot a few rounds you could stop by the range and get a 100 or so rounds to keep your self in practice. Not any more. Those days are long gone.

The powers that be say it is cheaper this way. I was a much better shot and so were most of the people on the department. The powers have been shown how much money they can save in the long run. The loss of an officers life because he/she is not as proficient as they should be. You send a bullet down range and hit an Innocent person. Put a price on that and get back to me on what that cost and let me know what is cheaper.

Sorry for that rant Ryan.

[DJD]

Wow..shooting that much would be awesome.
Man that blows. That really sounds counter productive to me. Of all the people who need to be proficient with weapons it's you guys.
Whats next sharing weapons??

[zx150]

It wouldn't surprise me.

[DJD]

Do you get to choose your weapon? Caliber?

[zx150]

No Glock 22. I thind the new people can get either a 22 or 23 but 100% sure. The old County can still carry their Sigs. I would rather have a .45 but my next pick would be a .40 so it's not too bad.

[DJD]

I don't have a Glock but was always curious about them. Since you have one...is there anything that you would have besides the Glock? Springfield XD maybe? I don't have one of those either. Just curious.

[MrSplitshot]

For the ability to perform after taking a beating, they say it's hard to beat a Glock...which makes them understandable service weapons...but I still think they feel like holding a shoe box. LOL

I'm a Springfield XD fan, myself.
