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 |
