JDMCQ's Garage

good afternoon Susan, long time no talk.

have a good day.

 

Hey Brian... yeah, you've been hiding on us. Any luck on a job you really want?

 

Finished the CCW class earlier today.

Apparently, I always shoot right and low.

 

i feel like that's what i'm doing....but maybe not. i'm not really anticipating, and i tried just doing a nice, slow squeeze and still did it.

possibly, i am somehow 'pulling' the trigger right (???) if that's possible

other than that, the sights might be off (not adjustable)

i really need to shoot more to eliminate possibilities

 

i don't think i flinch (but i did flinch when the guy next to me fired a .45 and i wasn't expecting it)
but i may. i usually, if i do flinch, work that out in the first few rounds.

Springfield Armory XD9 4"

 

I'm not saying the sights are off, just a possibility. in all likelyhood, its me.

i've had the gun about 3 months and put 300 rounds through it.

i need to shoot more to assess the real problem.

being a 'noob' shooter. it could be trigger 'pull', breathing, flinching, squeezing, etc.
however, even with said issues, the qualifying was done on a 8"x11" sheet of paper and i hit the paper with every round, 1-handed and 2-handed at 5, 7, 10, and 15 yards.

 

Evening Susan, Brandon and anyone else wandering in.

 

hello susan and dave

 

Evening Dave how's the vacation going?

evening Brandan.... how was work?

 

good good, except that my boss screwed up the material order and we basically didnt get anything we needed

 

Did you do this?

 

Doing good. Took my fathers old golf cart out for a spin today. Batteries seem to be about done, they were new in 2003 and don't hold much of a charge anymore. The golf cart guy wanted $430.00 for new batteries, I think I'll wait until the fall to get them, no one will be here to use it after I leave next week. We tried to fix up an old fountain my mother has in the front yard. No one's been here much in the last 3 years and the fountain was in pretty bad shape. I ended up taking it apart and storing it in the garage. My project for next time I head this way...

 

Sounds like a busy day....

I did my normal Saturday stuff and then went to talk to one of the guys I used to work with - his retirement ceremony was yesterday and I had to work, so thought I go say good luck... Got to stay for a party and see some of the other guys I used to work with....
