We often talk about shooting being a diminishing skill, and to stay a good shot you have to shoot.
I’m not a great shot. I’m decent at best but I can usually reach my accuracy expectations I set for myself.
Last week I acquired a few new 6 guns and was getting very, VERY frustrated with the accuracy results I was getting at 25 yards. I switched over to a known gun and load and still couldn’t shoot worth a hoot, and even went as for as having my eyes checked and got reading glasses to see if it helped me see the sights better (it didn’t)
It finally occurred to me that maybe I just haven’t shot a six gun enough lately, so I grabbed a 1911 and proceeded to shoot several 2” groups at 25 yards.
That one hurt a bit, so today after I got done with my chores I grabbed my Ruger Blackhawk 45 colt and several boxes of 45 colt handloads and headed to the range. I started at 7 yards and basically very deliberately forced my self to do all the right things, and once I got a group I was happy with I stepped back and started again.
The final two groups at 25 yards I was happy with. The card on the left was shot offhand with both hands, and the card on the right was shot single handed. if you notice, I actually only have 5 hits on the right card, but oh well.
Guess I’m gonna be spending some more time with six shooters in the coming days.
