e-Postal Shooting Match

Well, I've finally gone and done my shooting for the e-Postal Handgun Match #1. The official results? I stink. Next time I'm using a shotgun.

The first round I fired one of my favorites, and a gun I'm normally really good with - a Makarov 9mm (9x1. It's small and thin, so I usually use it as my primary carry gun - I can take it pretty much anywhere. My results (20 shots at 10 yards):

Yikes. This was my SECOND try. I knew others said it would be hard, but damn. I thought I'd get 10 for sure. My score? 5. The first time I only got 3 of the damn flies. Bleh. Well, at least all 20 shots are in the paper, I suppose.

Next up I tried my .357 Magnum. Big cannon of a gun with massive recoil. Tons of fun to shoot, of course. I love the "deer stopper" ammo -- .357 magnum overstuffed with powder -- huge flames literally shoot out the sides of the gun about 2 feet on each side. I thought using a larger bullet might up my chances:

Nope. Same thing: 3 flies on the first round, 5 on the second. Again, all rounds in the paper, so if you're charging me, I think I'm still going to hit you, but man this was hard. Fun! But hard!

So anyway, I'm submitting my massive scores to the match master for official scoring. I can see a last place coming up soon...but if you haven't tried this, go read the rules and give it a shot!

1 Very good shooting, especially with the Makarov. There's a lot of scores lower than five.

Keep that Makarov polished up for the next match. I'm not giving out any details yet, but the Makarov is going to be at home in the next one......

Thanks for the entries!!

2 Thanks! When I looked at the target and read about "low scores," I thought that meant at least 8 or 10. I almost played another round to see if I could get all 20 shots in the paper and actually miss every fly...
