So went to the range today for a shoot. It's called Concealed Bowling Pins. This refers to shooting a bowling pin with a pistol that you'd use to protect your family from home invasion. So no fancy optics but otherwise a weapon you'd use in protecting your home. It consists of five bowling pins set on a table approximately 15ft away and you shoot them off the table. Your weapon is laying on the bench in front of you. Buzzer goes off and you grab your pistol and shoot the bowling pins.
I'm not the best at it but I can hit them just not in a very speedy fashion. Today, out of five participants I came in last. I've done better in the past but that's why I do this so I can get better and learn how to hit what I'm aiming at. Today not so much.
Of course you may ask why I do this if it's frustrating. I'm trying to learn how not to miss. So every time I participate in this type of competition I'm learning something about the gun and myself. Next time I expect to do better. And hopefully I will.
The month of November will have a Falling Plates, Speed Steel, and possibly a Concealed Carry (different from the Bowling Pins) shoot. Then I think I'm done for the year and possibly Jan/Feb '16. We'll see. The Speed Steel shoots continue through the year so I may keep doing those as I am really enjoying shooting those competitions.
Hopefully the next time a bowling pin invades my condo I will be able to do better than I did today.
Ha!!
