I was at the gun range today, the local police were practicing, so I joined in.
They decided to throw some rounds down range out to about 100 Yards.
BOY DO I SUCK!
Took more than twenty rounds for me to get on target, and I had no pattern at all!
9mm, 40 cal, didn't matter, I just could not get a pattern out that far at all.
I don't feel too bad, I did about as well as the police there, but it's TOUGH shooting a big, heavy, slow moving bullet that far and hitting anything!
Short barrels/sight radius don't do any favors either!
This seemed a LOT easier when we were in the military when we practiced more often, but I can't hit SQUAT now!
Do any of you practice with longer ranges with your handguns?
Any tricks to it I'm missing?
