Brought the Mil-Spec along for the ride:

TRS targets.

Gun is much better than I am :frown:

Hello from CT! I had my eye on a TR for awhile. Looks like a nice gun.

 

[jdc1244]

Welcome.

Gun is much better than I am.

They look like my targets. :wink:

My TRS shoots like a lazer -- much better than I can -- you can't go wrong with a Baer

 

[Rob Potter]

Welcome!

Parputt...finally an honest shooter! Some advice...Slow down! 525 rounds in a session is a lot. You will get those groupings closer as you concentrate more on each shot. Been there.

Nice guns good shooting, Welcome!

 

[MarshallDodge]

That is good shooting. There is nothing wrong with shooting fast as long as you are happy with your performance.

Well I now have roughly 2700 failure free rounds through the TRS and have finally gotten familiar with the trigger. No target to show off, but it is now my carry gun.

Good deal!

I love my TRS.

I have no idea what kind of ammo you are using, but just for the sake of conversation, lets say you were buying factory ammo at an average of $.50 per round. Thats $1350 in ammo! Of course if you roll your own, and cast your own bullets from wheelweights or other scrap lead, your cost would be a small fraction of that. Anyway, a TRS is on my short list of "wants", and when I get one, I hope to put a lot of rounds through it as you have done. Thanks for the report.

Well I look at it this way. The amount of money I spend on ammo is far less than it will cost my family to put me in the ground should I fail to be prepared. I am not a tin foil hat type person by any stretch of the imagination, but I have been shooting all my life and am a firm believer in being proficient with my weapons. I also work in the oil and gas industry and am away from home 20-25 days a month. I have few hobbies and guns and shooting is one of my main so most of my "hobby" money goes to ammo. I do not roll my own, but try to find the cheapest (cost wise) ammo I can find. Luckily my local Academy has been keeping a good stock of Monarch FMJ @ 18.99 per 50 rounds. That is roughly $.38 per round. Again, I consider the amount of money I spend on ammo money well spent. Keep in mind that this does not include the ammo I put through my S&W J frame that I also carry or my Springfield Mil-Spec that sees some range time also.

I agree with you and this reminds me that I have not shot all winter. Need to get out and practice. Thanks again.
