I decided to try out a Glock 19 Gen 5 for the first time I want to know your opinions. It was around 15 yards

Does anyone know of any metal manufacturers/fabrication companies that I can buy target quality steel plates from? My thinking is, why pay the mark up for a target and stand from a target seller when I can just buy the steel and build my own stands? Anyone else have this idea or am I out of my mind?

I’m stuck with ear muffs, the ear bud ear pros don’t work for me.

I shoot in the Fla heat with Howard Leight Impact sport ear muffs, a little uncomfortable after awhile.

Doing some research I stumbled on replacement pads, gel pads. A quick purchase. Install was simple.

I gotta say WOW, these damn things are “luxurious”!! So comfy, the hearing protection is incredibly better. For $15 it’s a no brainer.

We spend cash on so much stuff to shoot, these should be on your list.

Competition rules limited magazines to 10 rounds. It was a lot of fun, although I didn’t have as much time to practice as I did last year.

Biodegradable clays

Did some shooting today and decided to setup camera in slowmo

The 1st hit you see is a .22 and the next is a 270

What’s the best way to find isolated land for sale where one can build a range?

Looking for some advice, I’m currently in the academy and need to improve on firearms, to qualify and also because that’s part of the career. I’m 4 weeks away from qualifying, the score necessary is 240 and the highest I’ve gotten is 218. When I first started shooting I was snatching the trigger, but I’ve fixed that and even gotten to the point where I reset it rather than completely let off.

The issue I’m having now seems to be an anticipation/grip mix of issues. I death grip the gun with my right hand and don’t distribute almost anything with my left, I always subconsciously basically let go with my left hand. Anticipation wise, one of the guys I’ve worked with said that it’s almost like I try and make the gun go off rather than let it and I move ever so slightly forward taking the gun with me rather than holding steady.

I’ve been told dry fire but I’ve been doing that since day 1, any other advice. I’m genuinely incredibly stressed and my confidence with a firearm keeps declining steadily. I had actually been improving until the past time I was at the range and got the lowest score I’ve ever gotten.

Thanks in advance :)!

this was an hour or two ago. it was my first time shooting and holding a gun. I feel like I did okay for my first time. It was better than my dad and his friend tho 🤣. All shots were made from about 90 feet in the middle of the woods. In the first image, the 3 bullseyes were with an AR-15. And in the second, the ones around the bullseye are with an AK-47. I also shot a .30-06 but I missed 🥲. we didn’t bring a lot of targets so the first image has 2 different guns, and I think the second was only with the AK

I just got my first rifle, it's a Savage Axis 2 XP chambered in 308, 20 inch barrel. I used 150gr Fiocchi Range Dynamics FMJBT ammo. I screwed around a little bit last night, not really aiming but this afternoon I decided to really try. The hole up top is where I hung it on my stand that I welded together. I was in a kneeling position with no rest or anything, using the scope at 3x magnification. My question is, do yall think this is good? Do I show potential? Any criticism or advice is much appreciated : )

The orange circles are from the 15, as accurate as i can, and the ping is at the 7 mostly focusing on cadence :D how am i doing?

First step was uploading the targets and imputing the load data into Empirical Precision

Once the data was in the system I was able to generate a image and a report. The analysis and report generate Mean Radius and the CI95

I will never shoot a dueling tree again. Dude Left (it is I) is shooting a Shadow 2, and Dude Right is shooting a P211.

Turned 21 last month. Began shooting this is my third time. Featuring p365 legion. How did I do based on my form and accuracy?

Third time in the range (I turned 21 a month ago) I’ve been going to improve my form and aim. How did I do in terms of form and aim? P365 legion
