I’m shocked!

The target range I went to is only open on weekends for regular folks like me. And I think there might be only one other in the area (central CA).

I never heard of spinners before. I’ll have to ask my local gun dealer about them. I need to go visit with him anyway as I think he might be in charge of the other target range I mentioned.

Boy, your shooting abilities are impressive. Do you compete professionally by any chance?

American Shooting Center had center fire and rim fire competitions on alternate weeks. I wanted to participate in the rim fire competition, but didn't have an appropriate semi-auto pistol. I purchased the Ruger MKII 6 7/8 "Government" slab side model. The range owner tossed in a box of 50 "Green Tag" .22LR with my purchase. I had about 45 minutes before the competition, so I took 10 rounds out of the box. I put the 25 yard slow fire pistol target at the 25 yard position and checked out the new pistol. I scored 97 points out of a possible 100 with the first 10 rounds. The remaining 40 rounds were saved for the competition. It wasn't all 25 yard slow fire and some of it was against a timer. I ended up with a score of 313/400. The winner that night scored 378/400. None of us compete professionally. It's just a fun hobby. The pros shoot a lot more and are a bunch better.
