Personal best, on slow fire by a point, from today’s shoot. Also, first time I got all shots in the black.

You took the glycogen out of your arms with all that yard work. Gotta love those twitches...Congratulations for all the personal bests!
Sorry to hear about your week Bob. Good luck with everything, in particular your ID theft. From personal experience I know what a frustrating challenge fixing that stuff is.
I was lucky to get to my range twice this week! Got out Thursday with my two 16 year old boys focusing on their rimfire rifle and pistol. Really nice day. Today did a couple of 50-yard bullseye matches, .45 and .22. My brain was not focused today. I could not get my act together with the .45 and had a couple of *** twitches with my .22. Trying not to make a connection with a whole day of yard work and power washing yesterday
This week: one-hand, 50-yards slow @ B6 and 25-yards T&R @ B8, S&W 41 w/dot
Slow - 91 2x
Timed - 89 4x
Rapid - 83 0x
Total - 263 6x

I enjoy the one hand. It is improving so I want to keep it up. I can’t find the slow fire targets. If I print yours they will be 8.5 x 11 which I think is to small.Big improvements!
Do you have slow targets? They score differently than timed and rapid targets. There's no X ring and the outer rings are different too. If you don't have them/can't get them just print them using the targets I attached to the beginning of the thread. Whoops... Do you have a working printer? I seem to remember someone saying their printer was broken.
It seems you are shooting one of the targets one-handed and the other two are shot two-handed. This is an informal league. Doing this is fine if you want to practice one-handed for score. I'm shooting all three targets two-handed because I've developed a tremor in my right hand. It's no big deal, I'm just getting older. In my formal league we ask new shooters to shoot two-handed until all shots are routinely in the black. They are then told they are ready for one-handed. That said, we don't make them go one-handed.
Hits touching a line are counted with the higher score. You don't have to cut the line. Just touch the line for the extra point.
Nice shooting!
Those targets are the right size when shooting at 50 feet. Well, they are within .5 of a millimeter of the printed NRA targets.I enjoy the one hand. It is improving so I want to keep it up. I can’t find the slow fire targets. If I print yours they will be 8.5 x 11 which I think is to small.
Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. My bullseye league range officer and the other older shooters have been helping me deal with this too. The grip that seems to work the best has my left hand little finger resting/laid against the base of my right hand little finger. The rest of the fingers on the left hand are cradled between the rest of the fingers. My right thumb's fingernail is on top of my left hand thumb's fingernail. I am not using the Weaver push/pull technique. The left hand is applying relatively gentle support to the right hand. My grip is good. My wrists are fine too.I don't know if this will help, Bob but one of the RO's had me change my grip slightly. Instead of stacking my thumbs I put my left thumb on top of my right and kind of hook it. It has made a huge difference with my limp wresting. I know your issue is totally different but who knows.
The slow target is a bit wider and there's no X ring. Points in each ring are a bit different too. Have a great week!Amazon has the correct targets now. I ordered a pack of them and will be able to shoot this week on a regulation target.
I saw that. $16.00 for 50 targets, not too bad.The slow target is a bit wider and there's no X ring. Points in each ring are a bit different too. Have a great week!
