The wife and I are heading to the range for some 31st anniversary live fire practice.
She agreed a little too quickly, I'm going to watch her closely

We had a good time.
She was rusty, got a little frustrated but worked through it.
I'm hoping she will want to practice more often.
We will see.
Didn't even act like she wanted to shoot me

Steel centered dryfire tonite
All the stages minus outer limits.
I have too much stuff in the way for movement.
It was so nice out when I got home I set up my outdoor dryfire range.
Planning on some movement stuff tomorrow

If any of you guys have Instagram. I highly advise joining and following JJ Racaza and Max Michel. Since this COVID-19 they have been doing weekly live videos on there teaching anything from movement, grip, drawing, etc...so when they hop on I just do what they do haha
Friday Royce and I shot rifles at 350 yards and 450 yards with good results. That is the longest shots I have taken so far. Gear worked very well. Have a better understanding of ballistics at those ranges than before. Quality time social distancing with my son.
Saturday shot a little bit with my carry gun.
Sunday was large scale gun cleaning and organizing of gear for the impending civil unrest. Teaching history and guns tomorrow. Might get some shots fired demonstrating.

Live fire session Monday
Focus was shooting on the move
I have completed exactly 1 dryfire session in the last week.
The home improvement project list is getting smaller.

Got in some live fire with the Limited Gun today. I experienced a few failure to extract which are troubling to say the least.
I shot drills that included small poppers, 25 yard targets, skunk targets. I worked on table starts unloaded and loaded. I shot for speed at fifteen yards. I did WHO and SHO at fifteen yards. In all of that there was good, bad, ugly and some very good stuff.
I also shot some with the carry guns. Poppers, skunk targets, head shots. I worked tap, rack, bang with SHO and with WHO. I had a nine shot drill that I ran with an unknown number of rounds in the gun. Royce was there to load the mystery magazine and put it into the gun, so some drills needed a reload.
It was hot today.
I also did three Bill Drills today at the end of the session. I hate dumping ammo like that but my ability on those is lacking. So I bit the bullet and did a little.

Here is some footage of the Limited Gun practice today. It was fifteen yards to the USPSA shaped steel. The paper in the far corner was twenty five yards.

This is some of the footage from the carry gun practice today. The drill with the unknown number of rounds in the gun was done with the idea of when not shooting to be moving. I did not get any WHO tap, rack, bang on video. The six reload six with the time called out, and the six switch guns and six more was an experiment to see if the switch gun was really faster. It was. I had not done the switch gun thing before, and I thought the reloading of one gun might be faster. Color me surprised.

Have not done anything for days. Got to the range this afternoon with the boy and the dog. Had some fun shooting water bottles and paint cans. Chrono the 9mm load through two different guns. The load makes minor, which is good. Chrono the .45 load through two different guns. It also makes minor which is bad. Need to up the powder a little bit. Nice to know now. Practiced shooting on the move with the .22. Practice draws and controlled pairs on steel at 10 and 17 yards. Worked on transitions between those steel. Worked on turn and draw on the near steel. Worked on calling shots. Ran six rounds worth of the blind swordsman. Might make this a regular thing for a while.

You hit on a lot of components in a seemingly short amount of time. I'm curious about the thought behind switching to the non-dominant hand towards the end after going to the second gun, but still shooting two handed. I'm having a hard time envisioning a scenario that would require that when you still have full use of both hands. I mean, it doesn't hurt to practice, it just seems like it's low on the list of priorities.
The one handed drill at the end with the tap off the knee and rack off the belt seems much more useful. One handed manipulation is a hole in my skill set that I have not spent a lot of time on.
Did about 20 minutes of dry fire tonight. I need to do this more consistently.
One of my biggest issues is that I have a tendency to choke the heck out of the grip, which shows me pulling the muzzle to the right a bit. This doesn't show up as much when I live fire, as my biggest tendency there is to readjust between shots which kills my consistency. I think I may add the beaver tail back plate to my G19 to get that good web lock without feeling like I need to clamp my fingers down.
The good news is that with repeated dry fire I am getting much better at seeing the front sight with both eyes wide open instead of defaulting to left eye shut tight.

I did that to see if I could get hits. I recently discovered that I can shoot better WHO than with a left hand hold with both on the gun, because I never do it that way. The only time I see it happening is if using cover or concealment and not wanting to expose much.

Ok
I haven't done anything but work on the house.
That's going to change tonight, the dry fire area is mostly clear of building materials
Live fire is on tap for Friday...
What the hell is a blind swordsman?
