Pleasant Surprise On A Rainy Day

[AJ]

Went to the local pistol range this morning with a Colt Government Model I built from all Colt parts and also brought along my original Colt Series 70 Gold Cup National Match. Had two different boxes of my reloads with me. One is a 185 grain SWC with 3.5 grains of Bullseye. The other is a 200 grain SWC with 4.7 grains of Bullseye. Each gun shot the loadings to the same POI with the same POA. I was surprised. Will have to try them out more to see if it still holds true. All shots at 15 yards in the Off-Hand. Heck of a thing to get old!

First thing in the morning ... fresh eyes?

The local indoor range has poor lighting IMO so proper accuracy testing is pretty difficult unless you have perfect vision. I can see sights and target well in daylight outdoors but the gun sights are poorly illuminated in the indoor range I have to use. Unless I maybe would benefit from some expensive sight replacements or mods, it is just too dim in there I think. Therefore it is just OK for like combat practice, and most people's targets in the trash look like shotgun.

Had been shooting about an hour or more. So the old eyes were not real fresh....

I will not shoot an Indoor Range. Was cautioned against it when I went to the FBI's Firearms Instructor's Course.

Most folks targets look like trash. Look more like a shotgun patterning target. Also the overhead, benches, baffles and target carriages too!
