Ok, I finally got some snaps of a few of my targets from Monday's expedition.
First off, some of the 10 yard targets. This on is the .22 and oddly, I kept the wrong one. The first target had practically no black left in the center (and I didn't bother shooting the lower targets), but this one is still representative of the over goodness of the evening (click to enlargenate)
Next, 10 yards with the .357 Magnum and the "HOLY SHIT!" loads. I was alternating between the bottom two targets as fast as I could and still maintain accuracy (which wasn't very fast, maybe a second and a half or two between shots).
Now, moving out to 15 yards with the .22. Notice how nearly vertical the shots lined up? My original round had me shooting high consistently and with a fist sized spread, so I stickered over the target and concentrated a little more. I got the lateral movement under control, but I need to work on breathing and / or grip pressure. The quarter is for size reference and the two shots above the sticker were from the original round.
Finally, the .357 at 15 yards (same physical target as above, just on the lower left set). Oddly, I am no more accurate at 10 yards. I can't tell if I should be proud of this or ashamed.
Like I said, I was in the "zone" and felt good about my shooting. While that's not going to win any championships, it's still damn good shooting and I'm proud of it. I wish I had taken more photos of my targets when I started my range membership almost a year ago. I'd like to see how much improvement I've made over the year.
