Slow Fire.

Post by keithj » Mon Feb 22, 2010 3:37 am

Went to range and did some slow fire practice......scored 73 ,79,80 @ 50 ft B-2 target then I ran the target back to the 25 yd line and scored a 90,92 on the b-16 target.......go figure wish I could score those 90's at the 50 ft dont make any sense..............

Yeah, it does. That 50 ft. B2 is the most challenging target in Conventional pistol competition. Those tight scoring rings are unforgiving.

You may have felt more relaxed shooting at the longer distance because you were convinced that you wouldn't do better (performance wise) than the 50' distance. Reflect a little on what you were thinking at the time; did you feel different about the two distances? Did you seem to concentrate more on technique because the target was farther away? Either one of those things can account for the differences in the scores.
