250 rounds of .22 and 4 Shoot-N-C’s later I ended up with this grouping on my last 25 rounds out of the Challenger II. The whole time I was low and to the left, but I’d blame myself before the gun. Low and to the left would indicate jerking or flinching during the trigger pull. I could also benefit from a stronger grip on the front strap and stronger wrist and forearm muscles to help stabilize things. That conditioning will develop over time and I’ll probably start dry firing between range trips to help get my arm and hand in shape.
Man, I need to get me a .22
.22 is great for training. No point in shooting a larger, more expensive caliber until you have the basics down. With the Challenger I’ll be able to take everything I’ve learned and apply it on a 1911.
I’d love to have a .22 double action revolver to practice with and then translate that to .357 and .44. Just a bummer that the Smith & Wesson .22′s are about the same price as the larger caliber guns.
