First Annual INGO Group Hat Buy Meeting Get-Together Thing

[Pami]

I wasn't sure where to post this, so here it is...

We met a lot of people, so let me know if I misidentify someone....

L-R: BigCraig, Virtus, StrongCrow, Pami, W9ZEB.
Fenway is behind the camera -- dork. Shoulda let one of the shop guys take the photo.

I think you were on the range when I took that. We are missing RogerB there as well.

Thanks for protecting my Identity as a Seal Fenway

 

[Pami]

Sorry.. I forgot to protect the guilty.

I took Pami's Sig for another spin at Pop's. Last time it was shooting way right for me. Same thing today

Maybe this has something to do with it

Sadly, it means I shoot disastrously to the left.

 

[indyninja]

how do you shoot with other pistols? do you notice your shots are way to the left? just push that rear site to the left and you will be fine.

INGO Hats

Nice hats Mike, Thanks!

Wish I could have stayed and shot some with you guys. I'm sure I could pick up some pointers looking at those shot groups

Unfortunately 6-7pm is the equivilant to burning the midnight oil for me with my weekday work hours. Looking forward to a Sat. get together shoot or whatever.

Did you mention anything about the forums to the guys at Pops? If so, what did they say?

I mentioned to Fred, who's a firefighter, about what we were doing there standing around and not buying or shooting. I had met Pami and Lars earlier at Pop's, and it was nice to meet "like minded people" and talk. Big Craig and I shot the breeze for quite a while outside. This is the group of people I've been looking for to share my time with. Great group of people. We need to get together on a regular basis to enjoy our favorite pastime.

Practice your trigger control and dryfire the heck outta it. Pull straight back and try not to torque the pistol at all. An instructor of mine suggested putting a dime on the front sight and try to pull the trigger without disturbing the dime. That should help a lot!

Because if Fen is shooting way to the right with the sights like that chances are good that the gun itself shoots straight.

To those commenting on my accuracy:

With my Mosquito, I generally start off to the left with the first few shots but manage to bring it back to center. And with Lars' S&W and HK, I'm generally pretty darn near center, but with both the HK and my 226 I shoot pretty darn low. With all of them I'm up and down the target though. I can keep it narrow, but it's tall. When I'm trying anyway. Last night I was tired and was all over the place anyway.

But yeah, what I'm gathering from all the helpful people I've met is that I really need to work on my trigger control. I just need to figure out how to keep myself interested in dryfiring at a wall for hours at a time. Right now I can't do it for more than about 30 seconds without getting bored.

Slap a picture of Obama and Hillary on the wall.

I asked Mike Hilton if we could trade links several months ago and he was very nice to put up a link to our forum on the main Pops webpage. I didn't see him at our group shoot and didn't talk to anyone else.
