I have been shooting NRA bullseye competitions since 1981/82. The evolution of my shooting has been remarkable.
Not only have I improved dramatically over the years, my choice of guns has evolved as well.
I started out shooting a Ruger Government MkII for 22lr matches and an S&W Model 586 for centerfire. Never really
mastered the 45 ACP, so never got into it.
Over the years, my Ruger Government model has turned into a Ruger/Volquartsen combo-Ruger lower with Volquartsen innards and
a Volquartsen LLV-6 upper....man is that gun accurate. My revolver gradually turned into an S&W model 52 for center-
fire. I have had 3 of them over the years and they shoot far better than I can hold it.
My latest Darwinian evolutionary change has been to the CZ Shadow 2 for centerfire matches. It is 9mm and in a word,
is amazing. I have changed trigger springs, trigger, mainsprings, grips and sights to make it even better. Trigger pull is
a crisp 2# on the nose. It loves 135 and 147 gr. ammo.
It will shoot one hole groups all day long and at 47 oz. the recoil is almost non-existent. While it
is expensive, we must remember, "the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys."
Here are two pictures of my latest stable mate. If you can, look into CZ, they make fantastic weapons.
