r/Shooting

Novice with a question

When using a wedge bag on the rear stock which way should the slope face? I’ve been told tall end toward you but have seen people with the sloped end facing them. Is there a proper orientation or kinda just whatever feels better?

Thanks

Sordin EarMuffs

I've been looking into making a real investment in my hearing protection since I shoot at an indoor range almost once a week, and at times multiple times a week. I keep seeing people praise Sordin Supreme Pros as some of the best, but when I look at the NRR rating, it's not that impressive. What am I missing that makes these so good?

Steel Challenge is great training for CCW.

I often hear people on here talking about having the time and money to train. I've always thought that Steel Challenge was a good way to get a fast draw, learn quick Target transitions etc. not to mention, it's fun.

Also, if you have kids, it's a great way to introduce them into shooting.

If you're not familiar with the sport, here's a video you can check out and see if it's something you may be interested in.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Looking for advice on tightening up my groups when shooting faster

I’m a left-handed shooter using a Glock 45 with a Holosun red dot. This target was at 8 yards, shooting about as quickly as I could while still feeling like I had an effective level of control.
Most of my shots are staying around center mass, but I’m noticing the group tends to spread low/right as I increase my speed.
For those with more experience, what should I focus on to tighten this up while maintaining the same pace? Grip, trigger control, dot tracking, or something else? Any constructive criticism is appreciated.
I tend to hold the pistol with the thumbs forward grip and pressing my thumb on the abortive gas peddle portion on the frame in the gen 6 glocks.

Shooting with myopia

So I want to try out pistol shooting but I have myopia(around -7.5 to -8 power in each eye). Is it possible for me to go for this sport? Some clubs have denied me due to my eyesight😢.But I am really interested into it.

Finicky 270

I’ve been chasing my tail with a Savage 111 in 270 Winchester off and on for over a decade. Got the gun as a graduation present. It always shot like crap no matter what ammo I fed it. Started reloading a few years ago and have thrown good money after bad in reloading components trying to make the gun happy with something. Glass bedded the action a couple years ago too. This is the first 5- shot group I’ve ever achieved with it that was about MOA (I think it technically measured 1.1” with calipers). Strange thing is that it was shooting 2”-3” groups with the same loads an hour before. What changed is I decided to basically pull the gun into my shoulder and lean into it like I was about to fire something with considerable more recoil. I replicated it with a couple more groups about the same size. Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if it points to a problem I could fix? Worth noting I compulsively use a torque wrench to tighten every fastener I can find a spec on. This load is Sierra 140gr TMK 0.060” off lands in star line brass with Federal LR match primers and H4350 going average 2935fps.

First time shooting, some unbiased opinions? (15m, 16.4 yards, 9mm pistol)

The first rounds went off target, but later I could put 10 in the black area.

The instructor told me that I'm decent, but to me it doesn't feel like that.
