Range Report — Practice, practice, practice
I went to the range yesterday, and I was horrible. I took my Springfield XD9, and my lack of practice was evident. My shots were all high, high and to the right, or just all over the place.
I hadn’t been to the range for nearly a year — eleven months, I believe. That’s far too long to sustain any real skill. Even though I’ve been shooting various firearms throughout my life, I’ve never been really good. The practice I did get was sporadic, and I’ve never had any actual professional marksmanship instruction.
Out of practice, and just learning as I go has produced some horrible results. So, I’m going to need to shoot more often. The more you shoot the better you get, I’ve heard. Well, since I can’t afford to pay for a class or a weekend workshop right now, I’m going to just have to learn as I go.
I’ll be visiting the range more often. I want to improve my skills from decent to really good. I think I’ll buy a book on pistol marksmanship. Time to head to Amazon.
