I was actually giddy about my target here...

[yanici]

I'm a 64 year old newbie to handguns. I own exactly one gun. It happens to be an S&W 642 snubbie, 38 special. Bought it for personal protection. Went up to Bob's in Salisbury today, my second time shooting, and shot some rounds. Then I put out a clean target at 21' to shoot for a score. This is slow fire and with Crimson Trace grips (I can't use the open sights with my poor eyesight). The bull is 1" and the max spread of the 5 shot group is 1 1/8" CTC. Ammo was MagTec 158gr. FMC.

Good gravy, I can barely hit the side of a Buick at five feet with my 642. That's some shootin' right there.

 

[cbrburns]

Nice shootin!

 

[Twigg]

As it has been said; Beware the man with only one gun.

Nicley done yanici.

 

[packingungal]

[LT1MCSS]

CT grips or no?

 

[ItalianBostonian]

Wow great shots!! You were at Bobs today? So was I, I must have just missed you. What time were you there? How did you like the place?

 

[Tooth]

nice

I am also a newbie but I cant get a good group with my snubbie. Very nice. Makes me want to get some laser grips.

 

[Lugnut]

The 642 is the most difficult gun to shoot that I own. Nice job!

 

[Pilgrim]

I can't hit the walls of my house from the inside with my j frame. Looks like I need a laser sight.

Nice shooting.

 

[T3andme]

Good job! I would be giddy too!

 

[Wiseguy]

very impressive! Great job!

 

[yanici]

Thank you for all the kind comments. I do shoot air rifles extensively and it's great practice for trigger control and follow through.

Hey IB, I was at Bob's around 11:15 AM today. The place does have a nice relaxed atmosphere, like everone else says. I particularly like being able to set the target at any distance that you like, right out to 75'.

 

[Cross-X]

Fantastic!

Congratulations!

 

[ItalianBostonian]

Ah, I missed you by about an hour and a half. I got there around 1245ish. That is nice setting the targets at whatever you want. Let me know next time ya coming up.

 

[sportycliff]

That is GREAT!!
I'm very familiar with that combo, can't shoot nearly that good.
Congrats!

 

[copterdoctor]

Nice Shootin' Tex !

 

[CRSIII]

You should put that on the front door!

 

[dagwag77]

Nice shooting!!

(I'll be heading up to bobs tomm, maybe noonish, if anyones thinking about going tomm!!)

 

[Blitz1]

Great Shooting!!

 

[DickWanner]

Awesome groupings, those snub nose's are alot more accurate than people think if you're patient and wait until you've got the hammer/trigger right at the breaking point.

 

[kiver]

Wow...I was all over the place shooting that gun at SW

Nice shooting.

Seriously, when I showed someone my horrendous target from a S&W model 60, his response was, "that's not a target gun, that's a gun you rob someone with".

Nice shooting.

Pilgrim, obviously you need more time shooting inside your house.

 

[P-14]

Nice shooting! Keep up the practice.

 

[Mike-Mike]

I have been saying "anyone that thinks you can't hit with a snubby needs a lesson." Good work.

+1 Hoop there it is..

 

[50 BMG]

Great shooting!

 

[Hanwei]

Holy crap. That's some awesome shooting there.

I can group all in the black with every handgun I own, semi or wheel gun.

EXCEPT my S&W model 60. I can MAYBE get all 5 shots on paper if I tried.

Very frustrating.

If I shot a target like you did with my 60... I'd kiss the next person I saw at the range... which would probably get me shot.

 

[Kalahari]

Laser or not, that's good shootin'.
