My in-laws were visiting from Minnesota, and I decided to take them out shooting, because 'Murika. My grandfather-in-law carries a XDM .40, and he wanted to try out my P229 .357. I have one of those clay pigeon holders, and at 25 feet, he popped all nine clays with nine rounds. Admittedly, I'm a little out of practice, it's been well over six months since I last pulled the trigger on anything, but I hit three out of the nine clays with 12 rounds. I know I need more practice, but is there any way I can keep my edge otherwise?
