    It's my last day of vacation, so I loaded up and took the wife to the range so she could shoot steel with her RDB. I set up the Dickens drill and hit 9 of 10 from 50 yards on steel with my p365. It's not as hard as it seems obviously. I set up my steel on the 200 yard line and brought the ar10 out for the first time in almost 5 years. Zero was still set and could easily nail the neck portion of the target at 200. AR15 was child's play, DING, DING, DING. Before leaving, I loaded another mag of x39 and shot the AK-P. It nails a man sized steel torso with ease at 200yrds. That's nice coming out of a 10.5 inch barrel. Then why not, let the stribog stretch its legs. Again, DING, DING, DING at 200yrds from an 8 inch 9mm pcc. It was a dead on hold at 100 and 3 inch high hold at 200. I expected more drop, but that's where it was hitting.

    So ak pistol and 9mm pcc have zero issues at 200yrds with a 95% hit rate. Hell yeah.

    PS. The Canik Rival dumped 2 18 rnd mags at 50 yards transitioning targets without a miss. That thing is a beast too.

    Glad you had a good day.
    I did. I realize it comes across as bragging, but everything was smashing that poor steel target today. The Stribog even hit the 3 inch plate at the 100yd line on the 2nd shot. I nor any of the guns could miss today. My wife on the other hand was shooting a little low and now the wood is stuck. Aww hell here I come out of context thread.

    Wonder how hard it would be when faced with a target that shoots back and innocent bystanders running around screaming?

    Probably so, but the drill is just a drill.

    What was harder was walking backwards and mag dumping on targets. Maybe 60% hit rate. Need to work on my movements and sight picture discipline.

    Understood. Guess I’m getting tired of folks doing the ‘Dickens Drill’ and saying it’s not that hard…when they simply set up a target at 40 yards, set a timer for 15 seconds, and if they set 8/10 hits, they claim it’s no big deal. That is far from the scenario Eli Dickens had.

    Taran Butler posted a video shooting “the Dickens Drill” on his range with his custom Glock 17 in 6 seconds. Big freaking deal.

    No one ever takes into account the guy was sitting down eating, got up to the sound of an AR killing folks, people screaming, people freaking out. Dickens secured his girlfriend, retrieved his gun from concealment, took cover to steady his aim, and fired 10 shots with unarmed citizens running back and forth between himself and the shooter…all in 15 seconds.


    But I’m glad you had a good day on the range.

    I think any level of skill at a range at any given day is a good thing. If anything I wish the economy wasn’t so jacked so I could go back to at least a box a weekend.

    Because of my health, I train different. These shakes are not going to improve. So I compensate in various ways. I probably focus on my breathing more so than most because of it.

    But I’ll chime in with some personal experience: back when I lived in Bedford I was hitting the range almost every weekend. Then one day at work I have employees coming to the post security entrance saying gun fire is going off in the parking lot. Before I can head out there and get on my radio my senior supervisor is already radioing any supes for assistance and as much water as possible. So I run quite a ways with a 24 pack. That was harder than I thought. The whole time I’m thinking I don’t have any details but my senior supe called for help and i responded and I’m going to deliver. Just kind of tossed aside the fear.

    Up to that point in my life I had no idea the things a range can’t teach me.
