So for the morning of Memorial Day I headed to the range.
Met up with Tosh and his buddy Timo. A good time was then had by all.
Had the Turknelli out and it ran like a top - even ran the lower powered 7.5 birdshot and the Federal Flite Control 8 pellet 00 Buck that it had choked on during its first time out.
In short no failures, fed everything it was given and seems good to go, and cleaning the pistons fixed the issue nicely.
When I got it home, I took it down to clean it and there was some solid carbon buildup on the pistons yet again, but not nearly as much this time, so hopefully the gunk is working itself out. Will need to keep an eye on it and I expect to make it a regular bit of maintenance to clean the pistons after each use.
Shot the Tavor as well out to 100 yards (longest range they've got at the range sadly) and no issues. Did decided to give it a cleaning as it had not been cleaned in quite some time, and I think it appreciated it. Got a lot of build up out of it and it is nice and clean now.
Also shot my Glock and IWI Masada. Definitely need to practice more as my draw is pretty slow and could use some work. Accuracy with both is good and I'm hitting an A Zone at 7 yards on Bill Drills pretty consistently, but need to speed it up, especially the draw.
This means some regular dry fire practice which I keep telling myself I'm going to do, so might as well do it. From now on it's 15 minutes of leg stretches for the hip rehab followed by 15 minutes of dry-fire a day. Let's see if I can stick to this.
