Combat Action Pistol Shooting

leave a comment »

Sunday I got to go to a Combat Pistol Shoot at Tuplehocken Fish & Game. Was the first time I’ve ever been to something like that. Was fun, went with a couple guys I know from Jonestown Fish & Game. I Suck, pretty much sums up how I did. I shot both the rimfire and the centerfire class. I should have brought my 1911, but chose to shoot my Ruger instead in centerfire.

Basically we shot, 6 at a 25 yard B-26 target, 6 at 6 steel plates at 25 yards, 6 at 6 steel plates at 10 yards, 6 at a three bad guy, one with a hostage senario at variable distances, 6 at 6 steel plates at a varied distance, 6 at 6 bowling pin shaped steel plates. You have 8 seconds to shoot the six shoots in each phase.

My .22lr needs help, it’s got issues with new fangled high speed ammo. It’s a High Standard HD Military that belonged to my grandfather. It’s older than I am I believe. I’m going to give it to my local gunsmith to work on, he has a lot of High Standard Parts he bought from a older guy who retired. That’ll be nice to be able to get it worked on, I’d like to shoot it more, but haven’t been because it’s so old.

Oh btw, the funeral for the cardboard hostage who I COM’d twice will be held Friday. Good to know I wasn’t the only one to do it though. But since I was using ball ammo it probably passed through and got the bad guy as well…

It was fun.  I did as good as I expected for the first time
