(Actually, slow-fire benched groups at 25 yards with a compact pistol aren't exactly my idea of big dirty fun, so there's that.)
Printed out some targets.
And since I'll be shooting two-handed (and from a rest, to boot) it means that the traditional correction targets, a yellowed fading copy of which is taped to the wall of every shooting range in America, won't be useful for self-diagnosing any marksmanship errors. I'll be bringing my two-handed self-diagnosis target instead:
Motivational Poster. Works for me...LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like that one. :)
ReplyDeleteOn my target I would adjust the center circle to read, PURE LUCK!
ReplyDeleteGerry
Hahaha! Every time you hit outside the center ring some Self Esteem type shears off a bit of plaque in a carotid artery and gets a micro-stroke.
ReplyDeleteBut I think it's a positive and supportive target. My center ring would say "Maybe you don't quite suck as bad as all that. But you probably can't do it again."
Excellent target. I'll be stealing that!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm allowed to determine the size of the center circle myself, I'd be happy to use this target in public.
ReplyDeleteI think a 3 foot diameter should just about do for me, at least out to 25 yards.
Hilarious and totally awesome.
ReplyDeletePermission to borrow and print out. Seriously.
Non-commercial use, of course; I've just got to take some of these to the range.
Different comment here; thanks for the link to the targets!
ReplyDeleteMerle
LOLOL!
ReplyDeleteHey! I use those Targets also!
ReplyDeleteBut mine have the 10 foot inner circle for my 21 foot drills.
Damn these eyes and old age...
That is the version hanging up at the range I use. But then, I gave it to them.
ReplyDeleteCorey
That's because you're holding it wrong.
ReplyDeleteI assume you'd mirror it for a left handed shooter?
ReplyDeleteI teach an "Introduction to USPSA" safety course at the Albany (Oregon) Rifle and Pistol Club.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of this matrix drawn on a metric target, and it's prominently displayed at every class. It provides valuable corrective information about accuracy, and the reasons why it might not be demonstrated by the attendees.
The previous comments about modifying the zero-zone of the matrix are ... not without value.
but I think I'll just stick with the original verbiage. New competitors need all of the non-judgmental encouragement they can get.
I help state cops learn to shoot shitty after-market, litigiously-required triggers on otherwise acceptable Glocks.
ReplyDeleteOne commander called me this week asking to use the range because he failed his qual. I said yes, of course.
Tam's new target was plastered 270 degrees on the range when he showed up.
I wasn't there to see the reaction, but he normally texts me later to say thanks. Not a peep, yet.
;)
Mine has the lower left-hand outer slice marked "Nasty flinch you got there"
ReplyDeleteOtherwise it's the same.
