So this last weekend was the shooting competition that only happens every three to four months. It is scheduled whenever a month has 5 Saturdays. So when that happens it's time for Bowling Pins Concealed.
This is shooting at bowling pins from about 10-15ft away using a gun that you would normally carry on your person. So I was using my Walther PPQ 9mm. This is a gun that James Bond uses in the more current movies.
There were 10 of us and so the competition began. I started out a bit shaky but with some luck and skill I ended up placing 2nd for the day. Which is very good for me. I felt confident when I approached the shooting line and it paid off mostly. Frankly I lost to the shooter with way more experience than me so I call that a win!
On a semi related note I've also purchased a new gun. In my previous post I had said that due to the great costumer service I had gotten from Smith & Wesson that I would look seriously at their products if and when I decided to buy a new gun. Well, today I purchased a new rifle and it was a S&W product. I can't wait to shoot it! I'm also planning on including it in my competition shooting.
This entire month I plan on shooting every weekend so we'll see how that goes. First up is Falling Plates and Concealed Carry. Two very different types of competitions. One, Falling Plates, is with the 22LR which is my new handgun that I just got as a replacement for my broken gun. It is basically shooting at metal plates the size of saucers from about 15ft. The other, Concealed Carry, is moving and shooting thru scenarios designed to help you in real world situations. This will be with a handgun that I might actually carry.
And then something different each weekend after that. Should be fun.
