Dusted off the Dan today to ring some steel at 50 yards.
Went yesterday and shot the new AR build to test out some PMC 223. Ran 100% but boy is it underpowered. I could feel the bolt locking and unlocking
Also shot the AR x39

What are you using for lights?

That's a bright one for sure. I have a couple without pressure pads, they work well.
Thanks

I must have reading the wrong one, I thought I read 3000 lumens. I'll give one a shot. I do need a light on one of my rifles.

What a beautiful fall day to get out and shoot today. I took a first timer to the range today and had an awesome time. He did really well, seemed like he had fun. Here's his first target from 7yds, he wanted to keep it and take it home. Half are G19 and half are 9mm P226 DA/SA. And yes, I made him decock and shoot most in DA. Not to shabby for the first time, all hits on paper, no flyers.

I know, right. I was honestly surprised. Didn't show any signs of flinching or trying to anticipate the shot. No sh*t, late 30's and never shot a gun in his life and those were his first. I may have converted one to our side today

I was there yesterday as well with my TNW, plinking off the newly replaced PCC targets. Quite busy for a quasi-weekday.
(Sorry, no pics) but we had a great blast today: Dad & his friend - me & my friend…
Everyone shot what else everyone brought…sure this jammed and this didn’t eject, but working together - helping n learning…
Any day at the range is a good one!

Wife fell asleep with the baby on the couch so I figured it’s now or never to get to the range on this gorgeous day.
Blasted off the last of my Igman x39 ammo in the SBR then some 357 magnum in the Dan Wesson. That gun is like a laser beam.

Working on some speed and accuracy with the limited gun
I have been working with a friend that has a god awful flinch. 1st range session, he was shooting 4-6" low left at 7 yard. He worked that down to half that last time and this practice he was all dead center. At the end we played a game of horse at 5y, I would call and shoot a shot, say at a 3/4" plaster, he would have to hit it or get a letter. By the end he was able to shoot 40 cases off the target stand.

If you were doing dot drills with an open gun, how would you account for the offset?
I just hold high, the amount will depend on the distance of the target and where you are zero'ed. This is what makes this a great drill, not only does it work on accuracy, trigger press, recoil control, but it always makes dealing with offset automatic,

Finally had some time to hit the range to test out some new toys that were passed down to me. First time filing an ATF Form 5, too (3 actually).
3 out of the 4 are registered SBRs. The UMP45 clone is based on a HK USC receiver converted by HDPS. The Uzi is a McKay Enterprises receiver using an Israeli parts kit and the semi-auto only bolt assembly and sear.
