welp i decided to try a different range today..dorve 70 miles round trip..this range had A/C, and a better selection of targets..when I purchased my gun from them they gave me a free range pass for a whoel day.. so i used it today.. i am taking a CCW class this next Sat coming up there. I was really impressed! anyways if i get the anual membership it is 175 bucks, if not then i will pay 12 bucks each time i want to go for the whole day. not sure what i plan to do yet though. Anyways i shot off another 300 rounds..no problems this time either. i still would liek to go to an outdoor range but they are pretty far away. i figured out the deal with my sight pic. it was the lighting. the first ranege i went to a week ago has the standard florecent lights, this one had something a little different..my sight pic was a lot better and after adjusting my sights (i was shooting left) i am still shooting left.. pretty tight shot group though!!haha the range official said it was the way i was squeezing the trigger. I tried my method and then his.. oh my gosh what a difference!!also tried a different stance he recommended..whata world of difference..now im hitting dead center at 25 yards. i knew i was a better shot than that..he said since i was taking the course this coming Sat he would show me a few things.. stance and trigger squeezing etc.. what a difference it made..i am still planning on having sights installed from his shop for 100 bucks.. that includes the sights not sure which one i am waiting on his reply.. anyways after shooting today he wanted me to sign up for a IPDA shooting compition they have clsoe by.. he said if i use those tequniqes i would place very well.. i was like yeah whatever!haha i might do it not sure yet though..

What was the name of the range? I used to live in Knoxville, TN and bought all my guns up there from all around TN - just curious. And that google video helped my accuracy a ton.
