Another trip to the range. This is about my fourth time shooting my new (new to me, but used) Glock 19. This was the FOP Range in Pleasant Grove, which I'd never tried before. http://www.foprangeinc.com
Nice range! They have memberships but I just paid to shoot for 2 hours on the one "public" range. They have bunches of other ranges.
No one was on the range, i.e. the one range I used near the office, other than me. First, I tacked up a target and did about 100 rounds from 7 and 10 yards.
Not bad for a newbie, but that was all at pretty close range.
I was shooting at one of three target stands left up from an earlier qualification. So, I decided to use all three targets and the barricades they had left at 25 yards (I moved one to 10 yards) and did some stuff similar to what I had to do (and didn't do very well at all) in the IDPA classifier last weekend.
I'm sure I looked pretty goofy to the range officer who had nothing to do but watch and chuckle, I think. I asked him if this was the best entertainment he could come up with and he commented that he gets paid to watch.
Observations:
This is a nice range!
Clearly, anything over 10 yards is not pretty.
Clearly, I'm shooting a bit low, particularly at the longer distances. I think it's recoil anticipation?
Even at the close ranges, I'm shooting left. Maybe the sight needs a slight adjustment? The Lt. in early January shot my 19 and thought it was slightly left then.
Anyhow, I probably did 300 rounds or so, and I enjoyed myself immensely! What more could a girl ask for?
PS. zero malfunctions today
