I've been working on a lot of shooting activities simultaneously for several months, and haven't really focused on one thing in particular.
Pistol- not as much range time as I'd like. Not in terms of volume so much as frequency, although I prefer to shoot >400 rounds when I practice. It's no longer frustrating dealing with this as a perishable skill, but some of my runs are pretty disappointing when practice starts. There is a large difference in doing this slow-fire and at speed, as my ability to shoot accurately without being timed only seems to improve. I picked up a dry-fire book by Steve Anderson just to use for building a program to adhere to, but am not sure when I'll start dry-fire again. Feels like it will be soon. I've only dry-fire practiced maybe 10 times in the last year. As I transition to more of an early-morning person, I plan to do it every morning. I've been irritated with my 2011 mags and slide-locking. For now, I like my gun to lock the slide back when the magazine is empty. My mags feed fine and don't need feed-lip adjustment, but with Gram's and Arredondo followers (which allow me to put 20 rounds in the mag) they activate the slide-lock with one round still in the mag. I went back to the STI followers until I decide whether to keep dealing with what I think is a completely retarded issue. I haven't measured and re-dimensioned my mag bodies yet, so maybe that will yield something positive.
Rifle- my handloads are doing very well, although I was hesitant about running them at high speed until I went through a few score. Even though it's been on the rifle a long time, I've found that my compensator is really just incredibly, offensively loud. I think it's louder with the adjustable gas block, since more gas is coming out the front. Doubling up on ear-pro is something I do every time I shoot the AR now; otherwise my ears ring. I put a fixed stock on the rifle a few months ago, which I like a lot better than the adjustable mil-spec carbine thing it had before. When I was re-positioning my LaRue mount after installing the new stock, one of the VFZ mounts stripped out. They fixed it for free, but I had to send in the whole upper, and after paying for shipping both ways, I've got as much in that mount as I would have if I'd just bought the QD mount. Lame. I'm finding that shooting at steel at 100 yards is boring unless I do it off-hand or as fast as possible, but shooting at 200 and 300 is still interesting, as well as shooting at any distance at the Benchrest area. I got one of JoeBobOutfitters AR trigger adjusters for a stocking stuffer for myself at Xmas, but didn't install it until Feb/March. It seemed pretty mediocre until I shot with it, as it makes the trigger pull heavier, but it really shined on the range. It offers a much shorter pull, and works by taking the most of the slack out of the trigger. My longer-range shooting improved drastically, and I do not notice the trigger pull being heavier during live-fire. Pretty great deal at $18. I'll probably stick with it for now.
Shotgun- has become my favorite gun to shoot. I've taken to shooting clays with a hand-held thrower almost every time I go to the range. About a month ago I got a quad-loading system, and it certainly is far faster than weak-hand loading, but it's not as convenient for loading in general. At the Nordic match in Sparta, I weak-hand loaded a lot more than I used the quad-loaders, due to the ability to load a controlled number of shells for whatever circumstances dictated. Most of the people I shot with and saw shooting were using a load-two type of setup, and it was far more convenient than the quad-load setup. More options, just as fast. I'm going to get one, just not sure whose product. I also ended up putting my Matchsaver back on and used it to great effect several times. Of note, my shotgun was the only one on my squad without any non-operator-error stoppages, but by day two they were all mostly running well. On three or four occasions I port-loaded and hit the bolt release before the shell was fully inside the gun. The Saigas had consistent issues, but that wasn't surprising. We did have one of the newer Stoeger inertia-driven guns on our squad, and it ran pretty well, just had some lifter issues. Lifter issues and mag-tube spring issues seemed to be the most common. The most important thing I came away with was the desire to start shooting skeet. Hitting things on the fly is definitely an area I need to focus on, and I get the feeling it will improve my overall shooting in general, not just with a shotgun.
