Finally shot my used R-9s

[JohnBT]

Okay, if you insist.

Hey, you asked some questions and I answered. Learn anything?

Have a nice day.

John,
Yes, I learned that you are insensitive and love to shoot.
Nothing wrong with either one of those.

JohnBT - Howdy, you sound like my kind of range buddy; if there is enough time, load up the arsenal along with your ammo depot and spent the whole day at the range taking your time shooting it all.  NO cares of where you need to be or at what time, except, where's the ammo?

"John,

That's good, but did you learn anything about guns and shooting?

Meanwhile, I need to pack for another weekend on the road doing things for my parents, EXCEPT, this trip I'm packing extra ammo. (Keep reading.) My mother is being discharged from the hospital today after breaking her hip Saturday and having surgery Sunday morning. She's doing well.

The other GOOD NEWS is... I found out this week that there's an indoor range near their assisted living retirement community in Harrisonburg.     I'm just now getting around to learning my way around Harrisonburg.

" if there is enough time, load up "

 I'll make time, even if it's just 30 minutes.

John,
Anyone who is taking care of their parents as you are would
not be considered insensitive in most circles; glad to hear
about the range in close proximty to their assisted living
accommodations. That range can serve as assisting your
living in the mean time.

I have not learn anything about guns or shooting from this thread so far.

I agree with Reinz.  When fatiqe starts to set in and your/my hands start to get a bit shakey it is time to switch to long guns.  When you reach that certain point it is absolutly usless to continue shooting.  You or anybody won't make any improvements to your shooting ability.  Now apparently you have never reached that certain point where fatige sets in.  That is outstanding for you and I envy your stamina.

" Now apparently you have never reached that certain point where fatige sets in."

Sure I have, why do think I quit shooting the R9 after 2 boxes of ammo. The last 5 or 6 shots were wandering all over and I jerked one really low, so I moved on to softer recoiling guns.

OTOH, if not carried to extremes, no pain no gain when it comes to building strength and endurance. Suppose you need to defend yourself when you're exhausted from splitting firewood or digging a ditch or driving nails for hours in the sun. Do you have the reserves to will yourself to make the shot?

Be prepared.

John,

Very good points.
