Since I am doing better (been sick with strep/2 ear infections for the past 3 weeks) I figure I would share something that happened to me last week when I was at the range. A guy walked in to the range as I was shooting. He brought two huge black duffle bags, so big infact they made it hard to walk by. As he pulled out some sort of longslide pistol (might have been a glock) he started to talk with some guy (they might have been friends) that was to his right. They stood, talking outside of the range bays, for atleast 8 minutes (all the time making it hard for anyone to get by). The tactical guy was talking about how his gun has some supermodified parts, all this fancy stuff about the trigger and sights. Special mods he made to the trigger, and a bunch of other things that I don't have the slighest clue about. Thats all fine and dandy, I figured this guy was going to shoot a 1 hole group at 25 yards considering how much of a shooter he claimed the gun and he was.
Well he puts the target out to 25 yards, and on a 25yard circle target, he landed what appeared to be 5 to 7 shots (he must have shot atleast 15 rounds). I start to chuckle to myself, but I figured he might just be warming up or something. He brought his target back in, patched the holes, and sent it out. This time around 10 to 12 yards (the same distance I was shooting at). I shot my mag and then watched as he shot. I noticed his shots were all over the paper. No groupings, no one hole, no nothing. He was shooting at a normal pace too. My benelli shotgun has a better pattern at 25 yards (with its almost chokeless 18 inch barrel) then was on that guys target.
I just don't get it. I figured with all the gear he brought, and his talking about how the gun was such a shooter, that he would be some great shot. I guess I was halariously dissapointed. The good thing is when I manage to shoot a one hole group with my CZSP01, that people think I am some great shooter. Yet I am not remotely good lol.
