Range Report: Three 45s, 5/12/26

[BassCliff]

Hi,

Very nice there Cliff, you now have earned the nickname “Deadeye”

You are much too kind. But that's OK, I can take it.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,



Did you make it to the range? I'll look for your after action report. What sights did you put on your Mod.3?

When I haven't shot a gun for a while, I always start off really lousy until I remember how it shoots, sight picture, hold, trigger, etc. New sights is a another variable you'll need to practice with and get used to. Good luck!


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Didn't make it today. Hopefully tomorrow. I went with Ameriglo CAP sights.

 

[BassCliff]

Hi,

Thought we discussed this low left thing …

Yes! You're a great coach. I owe my marksmanship all to you.

But seriously, I appreciate the tips and instructions coming from all of you, helping each other. I just have to get over my laziness so that I can be more consistent.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Those look good. I like bright colored sights, with tritium. My favorite is the tritium Speed Sights. I put an optic on my Mod.3 so I didn't bother upgrading the stock iron sights. Have a good time a the range.

Hi,

Damn thats a pressure player. Just threw the extra one downrange cause you could

Ha! Yeah, this entry gave you five shots to hit three flowers, a bonus ticket if you hit the bee. Even though I had completed all the requirements, I still had one in the chamber. So, why not?

Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,



Thanks! I'm doing some window shipping on the Powder River Precision website right now. Lots of cool stuff.

Do you used the "extreme" triggers? I don't need a 2.5lb trigger, but a crisp 3.5-4lb trigger would be nice.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I have an extreme trigger in my 4.5 OSP. The rest are drop ins. The drop in with the lightest springs make for a crisp 3.5# trigger.

Well I finally made it to the range. I still shot embarrassingly bad but on the bright side, I'm consistent . It's like I've forgotten how to shoot. I'm pulling my shots left

1st shot was low in the 7 ring

I tried a mag full from a used Echelon 4.0C. It wasn't the miracle I was hoping for. I'm still tempted to buy it though


Going back, probably Monday, to work on getting better

Well, that's pretty OK. Sure, maybe not competition bullseye shooting yet, but definitely doing lots of damage in a self defense situation. It'll get better. I'm still working on my trigger press and grip so's that I don't pull the muzzle off target. I have my good days and bad, trying to get more consistent. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. It's been a long road back since my strokes in '24.

If you enjoy doin it, that's all that matters but them pre shot targets are a lot cheaper than ammo.

pre shot targets are a lot cheaper than ammo.

Lets figure that up, i paid 10 bucks for the targets i shot today, now i claimed to have shot 100 rounds. so at a buck a pop for 308 that's 100 bucks. i saved 90 bucks by using the pre shot one.

You still selling them for $1 each or 3 for $5? I may see what @BassCliff will charge for his pre-shot targets

 

[Belt Fed]

ou still selling them for $1 each or 3 for $5?

Oh not me sellin em, you don't wanna buy my targets. one thing for sure you probably could reuse them cause i can't hardly hit the paper

Just about. Work has gotten crazy and I went out of country for a couple weeks. Haven’t shot in 5 weeks! Hopefully I’ll be back in the world soon.

Good shooting Cliff. It's been a little over three months since my last range visit. The trigger finger surgery hasn't helped have padded shooting gloves that will help the still sensitive right hand. Waiting on my Sig P220 Legion 45acp SAO to come home from The Sig Armorer with 2.5lb trigger. All of my pistols either have self installed trigger kits or pistol smith's action work. Never have had any go bang that wasn't intended.

I hope and pray you heal up completely. I've decided that I will start with maybe two or three trigger kits, definitely for the XD45 and then whatever I decide to use for local competitions. Heal quickly!
