How's this plinkin' pattern?

Son and I went to shooting range for first time in months. I did this from 25 yds. It was about 35-40 degrees too (brrrr factor). What do you experienced gun dudes think of this? fair shooting? My son thought it was pretty good. ;) :p

I would like to say I was standing shooting behind my back, but I digress, I was resting my arm. ;)

I don't know much about that gun.   As a rule... from a rest...I figure any gun or load that makes a group at 25 yards that is bigger than my fist..  needs work..  still... that is  a usable group and about average for the guys that go to the range and plink away with autos.

If the group didn't spread out much more than that at 100 yards then it's retty darn good.

100 yards?  The length of a football field?  With a hand-gun?

Jeeze...I pity anyone who pisses you off enough to make you shoot at 'em lazs.

Are you guys sure you mean yards..and not feet?

I had a Mak90, a cheap Chinese AKM. At 100yards it would do like 8 inches.

I have (still) a ruger blackhawk, single six imn .357 that I could keep them all in the 8 inches at 100 yards with from a rest.

I prolly could not do it now, I do not shoot enough.

Hblair, I say that aint to bad for an auto, what is it a sig229, 228?  

9mm?

That was 75 feet for Hblair, Curval. (he said 25 yds)  Your first target was 25 feet. ;)

Incidently, the guy that amazed me was Swoop. At 75 feet (25 yards) he had all his shots inside the outermost circle(black circle on Hblairs target), standing, no support (cheater Hblair!) ;)

Curval, in your defense, all I can say is:
You never shoot your best game of pool with someone else's pool cue...

For the record..I didn't touch anyone's "pool cue".;)

Besides...I never got any formal instruction with a hand-gun and didn't use any breathing techniques or anything that first time that day.  I just got up there and let 'em rip.  My later efforts..which even you admit vindicated me somewhat..were the result of me rembering how to fire a rifle and applying the same logic with respect to breathing.

...also, when I was in the reserves they put me on the GPMG.  With that thing you don't need pinpoint accuracy...being behind a wall wouldn't even help ya if I was firing that thing.  It would tear through two layers of concrete block.

I was speaking in "Cliche" mode...meaning, if you had your own firearm, and practiced with it, you'd do alot better.  I was pleasantly surprised I did okay considering I hadn't been "plinking" in some years, and used someone elses pistol to boot.
