Last saturday was the second 50m pistol match this season, and it was on a lovely spring day! No wind, nice, steady lighting from a cold spring sun.
Started out at -1 celsius and at the end of the match it had climbed to +6.

Due to two small children entering my life in a short period my training has been non-existent the last 6 months, and very low before that. Only training was some 10-15 mins dry fire each night for a week after putting the little ones to sleep.
I went to the match low on expectations and high on happiness over being able to participate.

Match went ok, lots of good squeezings and too many where I lost concentration. Til I get to the fourth series.



First seven shots feels so nice! Nice trigger, good sighting pic, straight up-and-down muzzle flip! Until the eighth shot. Bad trigger and bad focus, and fortunately not due to the good shots. Just a bad shot. I followed up with a 9 and 10.



Sorry for the rambling post and bad language if there are any!
Just wanted to share a very nice feeling! Good weather, great happiness in the mind and totally relaxed. Those times it is extremely pleasant to shoot! Match ended at 545.

I would take a group like that any day. Good job

If you don't screw up royally from time to time, you have nothing to live for.

That's a WTF!

Its too bad they don't happen every day :)
Did a 97 match before that. Had no seven in it!
But thats one in six, unfortunately..

Like ModestoPete I'd take that any day.

I shot FP last weekend in comp for the first time and with a new pistol I'd taken possession of 5 days previously (FP60); I shot a PB of 476. That does not compare but it was still a very good feeling.
