My brother in law and his friend Brian came over to shoot handguns today. Brian brought 5 1911's, and the brother in law brought a Mod 29 and a Colt single action.
At 20 yds. they shot what you should expect, one hole 5 shot groups.
Then I shot. I used to be capable of the same one hole groups, but in the last 40 years, there have been a lot of changes in this old body. About three inches was the best I can do.
What makes this especially bad is that Brian is LEGALLY BLIND.
Out shot by a blind man!!!
Embarrassing.

Did you tell him that your groups were tighter than his?

I thought that I was decent with a pistol and there is no way in hell that I could shoot 1 hole 5 shot groups at 60 feet.

Re: Embarrassed

Well, I do wish I had a video. To think that a member of the Hide would cast doubt on the veracity of a fellow member's tale.
We all know that although we may exaggerate a little, it is only to embellish the point.
Maybe there WERE a few smaller holes around the one big one, but they were pretty close.
The point was, I was outshot by a legally blind man. In his favor, he won many a match in his younger days. He is 61 now, and I am 70.
I am not blind, but my eyes are going fast, and my hands shake like the proverbial dog sh--ting peach seeds.
Thank you for your support.
