It's been since last October and holy shit it shows! No target pics...

We hit the plinking/low 'V range' 50-200 yd first, then went to the 50 - 100 yd rifle range. We weren't so accurate but it was a very fun day one with the kids.

Yee Gawds, shooting is a perishable skill in spades! Good on yah for showing the kids the ropes.

Haven’t shot much pistol since the scaredemic, in order to protect my depleted stock. Boy, I suck now! Slowly getting better with dry fire and practice.

Gonna take time…

Unsolicited advice: Get a phone adapter for that spotter. Makes it much easier to spot imo since it removes the eye relief issue.

Soooo perishable!

It's so much easy to shoot pistols. I can stop at the club and get 100 - 150 rounds inside 30 minutes - even less time if I load at home.

^ I tried a few of them years ago and gave up.

What do you recommend?

Magview wants $170 for a magnet in a rubberized flip thingy.
I have a different setup, so I don't want to say it'll work for you necessarily, but I've had decent luck with the Celestron NexYZ and would recommend it for the price.

The setup I use is a Swaro scope with the TLS APO lens attached to a camera broadcasting a local wifi network to a tablet and/or laptop. It's great, but quite a step up.

Every gunshill seems to be frothing at the mouth about some dry-fire laser app or another.

Anybody here used the MantisX system (https://mantisx.com/) enough to have a cogent opinion? Frankly, it looks too good to be true. As to their claim that 94% improve after using MantisX for 20 minutes... Yeah, 20 minutes of dry-fire practice alone will probably do that. Color me skeptical.

I'm curious to see if anybody has tried Mantis. Seems they have some live fire aids now too.

Well, that didn't take long for this to come across my feed:



Only $17.99/yr and no hardware on your gun...

Thanks for the recommendation! Easy to use and excellent 3 axis 'dialability'. Show's lots of promise at home.

It came with a 'bonus' global AC Adapter good in the US, UK, EU and AU for some reason... WTF, Chinese malware device?


Fucking Amazon... A product from a 'Murican Co built on a manufacturing floor in China, the above NeXYZ was at my doorstep about 15 hours after your post!

ammoseek.com

A comparative shopping website for those of us who want to be a tiny bit fiscally responsible when pursuing the pew-pew life. Ammoseek's Happy, Merry Worker bots continuously roam the intrawebz for offerings and rank them by price. I've used them for years to find available ammo at the best price. Now, I see that they've added Reloading, Mags and even Guns to the mix. Pretty damn cool. I wish I knew of something like this for marine hardware.

I bought a case of .380 from a reputable on-line dealer (with free shipping!) for significantly below the sale prices of my formerly go-to websites.

Heckler & Koch (Of the infamous Customer Service motto: Because you suck. And we hate you.) published a catalog with a mag loaded just like that -- on the front cover. The Sturm und Drang when the error was discovered was wonderful to behold.

If the Master Race can do that, what chance have we mere mortals?
