Shooty meet up – more stuff
The shoot was held at Coal Creek Armory (gratuitous plug due to their holding a time slot for us – so, go buy something)
One of the highlights of the range time was shooting Tam’s 44. Cool little revolver. Even if you miss the target, the fireball from it will set the target on fire.
Everyone likes the 9mm AR-15.
Tam has a write up here. And I’d like to thank Tam for pointing out that my pending procedure can be referred to as installing a blank-firing adapter.
Glenn Reynolds is a fine shot.
I tried to teach Dr. Helen not to flinch by using the old no round in the camber see what happened trick. I find this method effective because it shows the shooter at exactly what point they flinch and they tend to compensate for that. It seemed to work for the next couple of magazines but we soon had to leave the range so the handgun carry class people could qualify.
Speaking of, the handgun carry class was packed. And there were a lot of women in the class.

It looks it was a good time. Next time how about so pictures or videos.

instead of an empty chamber, take and mix in like 5-7 snap caps in a 50 round box of ammo, then load the mags without counting where the caps are put…
that way you get a few shotsi n a mag before the snap cap… forces you to assume that every shot could be the snap… you tend to adjust quicker imo

Hey, let us know when this happens again. My daughter and I both want to learn to shoot. A two-fer deal!

Happy New Year!
BTW, at the two schools I learned to shoot handgun at, that “no flinch drill” was called “Ball and Dummy”. The “dummy” could stand for the inert round insterted in the sidearm (you need one so that you don’t damage the firing pin), or it might stand for the person pulling the trigger, if flinching results.
