Anyone here into firearms?

My dad is 85 years old and still shoots a 1911 'bullseye' style. One handed, with the other hand in the pocket.

And still puts them in the 10 ring...

That describes 80% of the guys at our bullseye matches. Throwing 10 rounds of .45 into one ragged hole at 50 yards one-handed. I've accepted the fact that I'll never be that good.

I might be able to do that with my USP Match but I'll need to practice a lot more.

Edit: lots lots more.

Nice! I hope I'm still shooting that good when I reach his age.

Nice.

I'll see next time I'm in New Mexico visiting my kids if my son in law could pick one up to try.

Awesome to hear about your Pops still shooting
