@freemo I have those now too... although I don't wear them when shooting. But things over maybe 100 meters are getting tough to see. I think it's called a stigmatism? Where there are multiple images that overlap?? For now, I can shot at the bottom left image... but that will get worse.

@freemo Anymore I can't even see a target that far away. At my best, 30 years ago, that would have been an incredible rifle shot for me. That guy looks 70 and still did it in 2??

40 years ago I had a buddy who did competitive black powder shooting. They shot at (if I remember right) 1000 yard ranges. But still, rifles.

@freemo Practice, practice, practice! And the kid had only fired a handful of rounds through his rifle, and I highly doubt the scope was showing the same county. Did you watch that 1000 yard shot video? THAT is amazing.

@freemo That's better than my other kid about 3 years ago when he got a new deer rifle. :)

We set up a 60 yard range, with the plan to extend it to a couple hundred. I swear he had issues hitting a 4x4 sheet of plywood we had put up for something to nail the targets to.

Which reminds me, for his birthday I wanted to get a laser bore site gizmo so he can help zero his scope... I have a couple weeks still....

@freemo , I have seriously seen people who couldn't land a single round on the target, out of an entire magazine. They get better... I can still remember my 1st pistol shot... And the clump of dirt it kicked up about 20 yards from the firing line. My friends were saying things like "Holy shit Jon, you suck!" I got better.

@freemo , trust me when I say that for 20 yards, you did far better than many, and probably most. I know for a fact you just shot better than my kid, who is a cop. :)

@freemo , I won't swear to it, but I think on your target it says something like "25 yard pistol target." 20 is probably pretty common for indoor ranges.

@freemo , wanna see where you can go from there? :)

@freemo , that's pretty good for a 9mm. But shouldn't you be at 25m??

Old Louisville Coffee Co-op, if anyone is local. Great cake there too... I highly recommend the Hummingbird cake. No idea what's in it, but it's vegan or something and really good.

@TheTootOfBob what doesn't kill you, is still watching you.

I just had enough caffeine to cause a panic attack.

But the local coffee co-op makes this incredibly good espresso milkshake...

@futurebird , thanks, I missed that.... to enthralled by the video to read everything, I think. That was a really good way to spend 30 mins.

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social , ya but today you can switch sides in the gally.
