Bad Gun Handling – Basic Instruction
I’m sure someone thought this was mildly amusing. I’m hoping it was taken as part of a “how not to” introduce someone to shooting.
On the safety side if that is a loaded weapon she might get a fat lip at the least and maybe lose a tooth if she’s not lucky.
With a little bit of forethought she might learn to love shooting. With just a few minutes of poor supervision she might never want to pick up a firearm again though…
Vertical Steps
I stared at this, trying to figure out if this was because of the way he was taking the picture and decided, nope, this is just freaking scary…
Sunday Hand Guns
My oldest boy and I went out to the range last Sunday and got a few hundred rounds in. He just graduated from college and is now applying for local police departments and wanted to work on his hand guns skills a little.
I meant to post this last Sunday but it was one of those crazy weeks where cars broke down and I got stuck at work late several nights.
Overall he did really well. We set up one target six inches off the ground and one at a normal chest height and alternated between the two to make target re-acquisition the focus.
We both did well at first using the M&P22 to warm up, then our aims go a lot worse. It wasn’t until I got home and started to clean guns that I realized the M&P22 was starting to foul with lead.
We then moved to the 9mm, .38, and .40 to continue practice.
We ended the day with a single clip of 9mm apiece firing one round every 3 seconds for a final scored target.
Tyler:
3 shots 7 ring = 21
1 shot 8 ring (I gave him the one on the line) = 8
1 shot 9 ring = 9
1 shot 10 ring = 10
Total hits 6/10
Total 48 points
Old Man (Matt):
4 shots 7 ring (he gave me the on on the outside edge) = 28
2 shots 9 ring = 18
2 shots 10 ring = 20
Total hits 8/10
Total 66 points
We were both really happy with our “okay” shooting. First of all these are 6 inch targets at 10 yards. Then there is the fact that he hasn’t really been shooting while he was in college – and I am really just now getting super mobile after my second back surgery.
Plus, I beat the kid in points so I was just happy to still have something on him.

Smith & Wesson Model 64 Shooting Log
| Date | Rounds Fired | Comment | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8/14/2021 | 200 | The wheel guns are just so much fun to shoot. | 13 |
| 09/06/2020 | 100 | I got to compare my new M586 to my M64 for the first time today. | 12 |
| 7/12/2020 | 100 | Relaxing day at the range with my youngest son. | 11 |
| 7/6/2020 | 100 | Had the range all to myself!!! | 10 |
| 6/27/2020 | 100 | Every time we go shooting the wheel gun is always the one we run out of ammo for. | 9 |
| 6/13/2020 | 100 | First outing of 2020. | 8 |
| 10/07/2016 | 150 | This really is one of my favorites. Pulling back the hammer forces me to pause - which usually helps my aim. | 7 |
| 09/04/2015 | 50 | Just a quick outing to start off our weekend. | 6 |
| 05/09/2015 | 150 | The .38 is clearly a fun gun to shoot. Everyone was waiting to shoot it and I only brought three boxes of ammo for it - and they went quick. | 5 |
| 04/26/2015 | 100 | Everyone loves the semi autos but for some reason they always keep reaching for the wheel gun too. There is just something about pulling back the hammer and firing with a good wheel gun. | 4 |
| 04/25/2015 | 100 | My son wanted to shoot the revolver so I took him out to the club. He had a ball. | 3 |
| 03/28/2015 | 200 | My brother went through all my 38 ammo! But it was worth it, he was hitting the target much better with the revolver. I don't think he likes the sites on my CZ or Glock. | 2 |
| 02/08/2015 | 100 | My first rounds with my new to me S&W Model 64. | 1 |
Glock Model 23 Shooting Log
| Date | Rounds Fired | Comment | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8/14/2021 | 50 | Still not sure if I like this Glock. It doesn't point naturally and it always takes two clips to get on target. | 11 |
| 11/21/2020 | 50 | The Glock 23 is a great little semi auto that is slowly growing on me. | 10 |
| 10/31/2020 | 100 | My son and I took turns with the Glock 23 today. He really liked the Glock, so I might need to do a paternity test. | 9 |
| 10/24/2020 | 100 | I'm not a huge Glock fan, but this G23 is slowly growing on me. | 8 |
| 09/06/2020 | 100 | Spent a little bit of time at the range on this beautiful Labor Day Weekend. | 7 |
| 7/6/2020 | 100 | Had the range all to myself!!! | 6 |
| 6/27/2020 | 100 | After figuring out how to sight with this it was fun to shoot. | 5 |
| 10/07/2016 | 50 | The thing I'm starting to love about this Glock is how clean it shoots - and how easy it is to clean - because it doesn't seem to get that dirty. | 4 |
| 09/04/2015 | 50 | Just a quick outing to start off our weekend. | 3 |
| 05/09/2015 | 150 | My youngest was funny when he was shooting this . I don't really feel the difference between the .40 and the 9mm, but he said he can really tell the difference. | 2 |
| 04/26/2015 | 100 | My buddy is going through a divorce and needed some cash. So I got a very nice gun that had barely any rounds down the barrel for half the retail price. | 1 |

| 10/31/2020 | 200 | Our family friend really enjoyed the manageable kick the 22LR has. My son liked how he could group hits in rapid fire mode. | 9 |
| 10/24/2020 | 100 | After shooting the 40 Caliber G23, this feels like a toy, but it is fun to shoot. | 8 |
| 09/06/2020 | 100 | More bulls eyes with my .22 nail driver. | 7 |
| 7/12/2020 | 320 | Relaxing day at the range with my youngest son. | 6 |
