[CLASSIC12]

Funny to hear Kentucky Windage invoked from Switzerland.

Hehe Maybe I'm spending too much time on US forums

 

[CLASSIC12]

Took five nice handguns to the range yesterday. It's open from 5 to 8 pm, but by 7 pm the light vanishes and it gets quite dark

All at 25 meters offhand

1984 Sig P210-1

1979 Colt Gvt model Mk IV ser 70 in 9 mm

1984 Manurhin MR73

1980 FN GP35 Competition

1990 S&W 610 with .40 S&W

Then as it was getting quite dark, I shot a few duel sessions, where the target appears for 3 seconds and disappears for 7. It was an interesting challenge to do this drill in low light conditions.

Those facilities are outstanding!

 

[CLASSIC12]

Today a few friends from our shooting club and I were again invited to a shooting challenge organised by the shooting society of the Lausanne police corps.

5 practice shots (2&3) and then 4 X 5 shots in 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 1 minute and 40 seconds on the ISSF speed target at 25 meters for a total max of 200 points (warm up shots being used in case of a tie)

My weapon of choice in the ordnance division is my 1979 made Sig P210-6 in 7.65 mm parabellum (.30 Luger). The vintage Swiss military ammo is very accurate.

Loaded and ready to compete

2 warm up shots, great

3 warm up shots, got carried away by the first two and lost my focus a bit

1st pass, 49

2nd pass, 47

3rd pass, 49 again

Last pass, 46, slightly disappointing

Total score of 191 put me in second place overall, amongst some 25 competitors

We finished again with a great meal of garlic shrimps and some fine wines. A great day was had by all.

The weather has been nice with really mild temperatures for the season, so I spent some time at the outdoor range today with various toys.

I started with handguns at 25 meters

S&W 48-2 in .22 Magnum

S&W 627-0 in .357 Magnum

Then a LAR Grizzly in .45 Win Mag

I finished off that target with some 12 ga slugs from the Ithaca 37

Then the Auto Mag in .44 AMP

Then some rifles at 50 meters

Winchester M14 in 7.62 NATO

HK 93 in 5.56 NATO

Suppressed HK MP5 9 mm

I was not very accurate today, I mostly wanted to have fun without too much concentration (and my glasses were fogging up).

And Lord did I have a ton of fun

Looks like a great time.
Do you hire porters for trips to the range?

Haha [emoji23] I wish

Hauling this steel and lead serves as my gym regiment

That .44 AutoMag. Talk about drool worthy. Oh, Man.

I like the checkered grip on the M-14

Well rats, CLASSIC12!

You were shooting on November 16th during the time we were in Switzerland.

Could'a, should'a, would'a...

Would enjoy meeting you sometime.

Was our wedding anniversary trip so perhaps it was better that I didn't pull off and go shoot, huh?

Next time.

I totally forgot to report on two landmarks of shooting in Switzerland : the field shooting and the compulsory shooting

I did both, in both categories, 25 m pistol and 300 m rifle

Both times we were invited in another club for the field shooting, but stayed in our own club for the compulsory shooting.

Pistol : Sig P210-6 in .30 Luger. Ordnance target.

Field is 18 shots, 3 in slow fire (20 secs per shot) and 3 X 5 shots in 50, 40 and 30 seconds

Total of 172/180, honorable mention and a medal

Compulsory is similar but with 20 shots, 5 in slow fire (60 secs per shot) and 3 X 5 shots in 50, 40 and 30 seconds

196/200 and honorable mention

Rifle field

The range

Stgw 57

Field is 18 shots, 6 in slow fire (60 secs per shot) and 2 X 3 shots in 60 secs each serie and 6 shots in 60 secs

55/72, disappointing score, honorable mention but no medal

Compulsory

Home range

Stgw 90

The field target

Compulsory is 20 shots, 2 X 5 in slow fire and 2 + 3 shots followed by 5 shots in rapid fire

69/85, honorable mention
