A Pilgrims (slow) Progress...

[Jerry LeVan]

About 2.5 years ago I had to switch to shooting my lp10 left handed due to
some physical and "emotional" problems. ( I started having problems
hitting the target! and I have an extremely dominant left eye.)

I have recently noticed that when I am doing my pushups my right
arm gives out before my left, but my right hand is still stronger than
the left.

I am happy to report that my scores for the last month or so have
been clustering around 85% or so. Previously they had been clustering
around the 80% mark for a long time.

I am a lot closer to my 67th birthday than my 66th, so the clock is
ticking...

I typically take 40 shots in the afternoon ( 20/target) and 60 shots in
the evening. ( Sometimes I just take 100 shots in the evening).

I have noticed a couple of phenomena:

1) Eating a moderate pasta dinner seems to make me steadier later
in the evening.

2) It is not uncommon for me to shoot my best target of the day on the
last target of the day. It seems to take a long time for me to ramp up
my concentration. I take a short break every 10 shots and the first
and last shots of the string are the ones where I have the greatest
chance for an error.

I hope I can hang on for a couple of more years and start clustering
around 90% :)

Way to go Jerry. Good to hear you're still struggling like the rest of us/me! Just using the LP10 now? What did you do with your K2?

Hi Rod,
I sold the rascal and traded the Morini for a "backup" lp10. Last I
heard from you I thought you said that you had switched back to
rightie...

I was switching back and forth due to pain or injuries. I've finally settled on left, and have switched rifle as well. It's been quite a challenge since I've never shot standing or kneeling left handed.
I was going to give up on AP and sold my Pardini, but quickly realized that I enjoyed a little shooting in the basement from time to time and also a club nite a couple of times a month and the after shooting coffee and chit chat.
I was going to buy and IZH but couldn't readily find a LH grip so I bought an AERON Chameleon instead. I've only had it a short time but I like it. It's by no means a STeyr or Morini, but it'll serve me well, I'm sure.

Regards,
SP/Rod
