You're very welcome.
Interesting day for me today. About two weeks back I was challenged to a shoot at the pistol range by two local law enforcement officers. Both are pretty good shots but as it turns out I beat both of them. Today I get a call wanting to know if I would accept a challenge to shoot against one of their fellow officers. I said sure, be there in 30 minutes. Upon my arrival there were a dozen off-duty officers at the range. I knew they had brought in a ringer to try and beat me. So I told them since I won the last match that I would pick the distance for the shoot. Knowing they only practice at 30 yards to the targets I opted for 50 yards. They were like no problem, our guy is going to beat you no matter what the distance. We each took 20 practice shots. Based on traditional scoring he sent 10 rounds down range and scored 9.75. I loaded my pistol with home loaded rounds as I know them to be really accurate as i measured the grains of power down to the millimeter. I scored a 9.88. He wanted a re-match so we sent 10 more rounds downrange. This time I think he was trying to hard because of all the pressure his fellow policemen were putting on him. He scored a 9.6 and I scored a 9.9. Turns out they were really good sports after all. The guy I beat wants me to work with him on getting more accurate. I still think I was able to beat him because they get to use to close shooting and I work between 30 and 50 yards on a regular basis.
Nice. Good to have the police on your side. |
