Ive been waiting to get my camera back from my sister for a couple days now so I could take some pictures and show everyone how I shoot, to ask for any advice, and see how everyone thinks Im doing. I'm fairly new to guns. I only started shooting 3 months ago. Since then, Ive fired maybe 1500 rounds (a lot of which were provided by my work, so thanks to them for that)
Anyway, I started out shooting a .40 Caliber, and thats what Ive stuck with. The only other gun Ive ever shot in my life was a 9MM. I kept most of my targets up until about a week and a half ago, but I had so many I threw them all away without thinking. I should have kept my very first one to show how much Ive improved. To describe my first target...it was a B27 like the one in the picture below. I fired 50 rounds at it, and only hit it about 30-35 times. Distance was about 7-12 yards, and most of my shots were in the lower left hand portion of the target, with maybe 3 hits in the center. In other words, I was shooting like crap.
Well, after much practice, a 3 day firearms class provided by my work so I could become armed certified, and a little guidance from someone I work with, I corrected all my mistakes.
Here is my most recent target from my last trip to the range. I had a few more pictures taken, including one of my other target from that day, but my camera is a POS, and it deleted them on me for some reason, and Im too lazy to go take another one. I cant remember if this was with my Beretta, or my XD, but they were both about the same, though I shoot a little bit better with the Beretta I think.
I need a tiny bit more practice, but Ive been shooting like that for my past few trips to the range, so I think im starting to get as good as Im going to. I do however need to work on my long distances. I can put them in the 8 or better pretty much every shot up to 15 yards, then I start to lose accuracy. 25 yards I can barely even hit the target.
Here is a couple pics (the ones that didnt get deleted) of my XD. I tried to make them look all pretty by displaying some of my other toys around it. I am not affilliated with Law Enforcement yet, but I hope to be in the future, so dont ask why I have handcuffs or an ASP....just looking for an excuse to waste money I guess, and I'll be using them on my job when my work certifies me to carry an ASP and I go through the class for Cuffs and OC Spray
Questions, comments, suggestions on my shooting are greatly appreciated. I think Ive come a long way, but Im not perfect yet.
