Today we headed north of town to a gun range, where we met up with a bunch of people and shot guns all day. We got to the range around 10:30 and stayed until they closed at 5. Luckily we brought a canopy for shade, since there wasn’t a shelter in sight and it was around 100 degrees. At one point I thought I was about to pass out – I couldn’t breathe and I stopped sweating. Bad. Chugged 2 bottles of water and let the car AC blast me – better. For the second time, hub broke a pair of Flexon(tm) unbreakable glasses. The boy has talent.<\/p>\n
I’m pretty disturbed by the fact that for the past 4 months, I’m shooting low with every single handgun that I try. Normally I’m a very good shot. I can’t fathom what’s gone wrong. I don’t feel like I’m flinching, I don’t feel like my stance or grip have changed, I’m making a conscious effort to put the front sight dot on top of what I’m aiming at. I’m low at short and long distances. I’ve tried slow and fast trigger pulls. Today at 25 yards I shot a nice group, maybe around 8 inches around, 8 inches underneath the bullseye. This is so frustrating to me! It’s making me really discouraged. Luckily I’m still a dead aim with a rifle. Hopefully all is not lost. I’m just going to have to get a group of people watch me shoot (hello, nervous) and critique me. What a bummer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
