Oh man did I get an eye opener today...
I've had my Sig P239 for a few years now, and THOUGHT I was a damn good shot with it.
...don't get me wrong, I can stand 25 yards away from a paper target and shoot a nice clean little group. This is what I'm used to, slowly shooting (NO rapid fire allowed!) at a stationary paper target at an indoor range in Tulsa.
...but I tried the reactive steel range at USSA for the 1st time today. For those who haven't tried it, it's a series of computer controlled steel targets that pop up at various distances and angles.
I'd swear that every bad habit a shooter can have came out, I was flinching, pulling and missing WAY too many times...but it was a helluva lotta fun!
The wife's not too happy about it though...cus I learned I need to get out and practice a whole bunch more (ammo aint cheap!)...and now I want a trigger job for the Sig...I'm pretty sure a "race ready" pistol is somewhere down the line too...
...I think I'm gonna have to get a second job!
