Bowling pin match. I did a few (when i had a ride) Lost the 1st one due to the other shooters pin hitting the ground a sec, if that before mine. 2nd wasn't bad, they're more for fun. Inquired at 2 indoor ranges if they do a pin match, umm not really we're more tactical. Oh is that due to people trying a pin match and it was too hard for them? Derp.........

Powder coat business we have used in the past went out of business, it's been a while. Found a new mom and pop type place from a reference, and if they do well I'll be happy to pass the info along to anyone interested in getting any powder coating done.

Don't be too hard on yourself, and keep practicing. Maybe get yourself some laser cartridges in a few different calibers, you can do some fun stuff with those in your own home. If nothing else, it's aim and trigger discipline without question....but also draw/handling/feet/posture...and if you have multiple targets set up around your practice area, acquisition. It does kinda suck not having recoil to manage, but you can work on a lot of things also including safety and procedure protocol as well.

I see what happened there. I was being very 'Norwegian' & that was mistaken for self deprecation. Thank you for the suggestions & encouragement. Ive never tried lasers specific to practice, what do you mean?

Hey, you said you were terrible and you suck and stuff. Nobody is great at anything when they're first getting used to something, whatever it is.
There are laser targets that that receive laser signals from laser cartridges that you can chamber in your weapon(s). There are several different kinds, but you don't have to have the target, just the cartridge. You can place IDPA targets in your house and shoot laser dots at those, for instance.
