Yeah, how was it?

I only got to go for a few hours. I had a funeral to go to. We had a good time though. Made me decide to ditch my AR and go with something else. It was a frustrating shooting day for me, but still fun.
It was great, the weather was perfect. mnoe82, bulbvivid, Icculus, and myself made it out. We started out by checking our zeroes on our carbines and then moved to a bay to shoot handguns. My Sig was singled out by M&Ps 3:1. If I remember correctly we started by warming up with some slow fire on 8" paper plates and bulbvivd's "you suck" targets. We shot a couple rounds of the FAST drill and then moved onto the carbine. We did some failure style drills with a reload incorporated. Next up was a SOTM drill using a 5" circle target. I realized that my usual practice of shooting on my dept. Q-style target isn't giving me enough feedback so I'll be using a similar 5"-8" target to keep myself honest. mnoe82 had to leave soon after and the three of us moved to a longer range with steel targets at various ranges from 100-300yds varying in size from 8"x8" to torso sized targets. This was awesome for me because most of the ranges I have access limit me to 100yds and in. Yeah, we shot our pistols on this range too, why not?:D Finally we shot some steel in a bay that had a saloon-style set up. We shot from a doorway at an array of steel plates. Freestyle, SHO, WHO, all timed. It was humbling but great fun.
I enjoyed seeing/meeting everyone again. Look forward to the next one.
