Went out to the most excellent Triple N FWC range this morning. haven't fired a shot since May. I didn't call the doc for permission. When I got there I thought they were closed, but then the gate would be locked. Only brought 1 box of 20 55gr Fed M 193 and my Interarms MKX. hadn't fired this rifle in 13 months. I only shot on the 100 yd range as I couldn't possibly walk 200 yds 6 times. My 02 went down to 87 a couple times as it was. Since I was there alone RO let me walk down to the target after 5 rds. A horizontal line about 6" wide but 2 bulls, 2 10's and the lone 9. The next 15 yielded 8 bulls and 7 10's which for me is OK when I'm well. I had to sit and breathe often, they wouldn't allow my 02 tank on the line. No argument there. Next time they offer to roll me out to the targets in the golf cart I'll say "Yes."
On the pistol range I shot my Ruger MKII 4 3/4" terribly at 50 ft. I cannot control my breathing at all and was all over the targets. I didn't take a pic. Good thing I only brought an almost empty box with 108 rds in it.
Then, the reason for the trip, I broke out the brand-new CZ P07 that I finally decided would replace my 6906, someday. I'll post impressions in "other brands" so as not to run afoul of rules. Let's say I'm impressed even if I can't shoot worth ****. Weak grip and no breath control. Here's 2 targets with 30 rds each (only brought 109 rds), mostly D/A (decocker model) at 50 ft.
By 11:30 I was whipped, packed up and got to the truck for some 02 tank "rescue." Today is exactly 11 weeks since the start of symptoms. Today is also the 1st real "outdoor recreation" since July. I can't express the extent of my gratitude to be able to decide to shoot guns and be able so relatively freely, a right denied to 90% of the world's population. I am doubly grateful just to be here after losing a friend I've known for 25 years 2 weeks ago to the virus. He was a youngster at 61. Joe
