I’ve backed off a bit on range trips due to Covid+ammo cost. With corrected vision in my dominant right eye of 20/30+, double vision due to unpaired cataract replacement lenses and a rather course tremor of my hands (used to be called a “senile tremor” although more sensitive docs call it an “essential tremor”), I find that my ability to shoot bullseye targets has suffered greatly....in trying to focus gaze and control the tremor, I often either flinch or jerk the trigger. Now, when I was much younger I was pretty much a snap shot with my rifle and also with a 4” S&W model 66 .357 revolver, so I decided to forgo aiming and use Rex Applegate’s point and shoot method (read: Bullseyes Don’t Shoot Back), and have been practicing. IT WORKS!
This week:
1. Seecamp .32, 20 rounds PMC 60 rapid fire at 7 yards against a “perp” target; one flyer, the rest center mass loosely grouped.
2. Rohrbaugh R9s: 40 rounds of Lawmant 124 shooting inn 5 round rapid “mag dumps”-all but one round on the target, but 5 were not center mass (hit the perp’s gun hand twice, liver once, shoulder once)...This is the Special R9 that I bought from Eric, the absolute epitome of a carry pistol.
3. Sig P365 40 rounds of Lawman 124 half of which were rapid fire and the rest a slower but not aimed (just point/shoot) style-all in the target perp silhouette but with 3 not center mass.
All three pistols performed flawlessly. A good day at the range. IMO any sudden “social engagement” requiring a handgun should (will) be a point/shoot event, so that is what I now practice exclusively.
