I hit the range again this morning for a practice 900 bullseye match. What a beautiful morning! I started just after 8 AM and was facing East, and the sunshine played a nice highlighting on my iron sights.
Gun: .22 caliber Ruger Mk II
Ammo: Winchester Super-X .22 long rifle standard velocity
Slow fires were at 50 yards, timed and rapid fires at 25 yards.

So, other than the Slow Fire of the NMC, it was a rough practice!
The Saginaw Field & Stream Club, where I shot, has a really nice 50 yard bullseye pistol range. I feel very fortunate to be a member there.
I put the remaining 10 rounds through a hybridized High Standard Victor. It had been working poorly, but my father brought it to the High Standard folks at the national championships at Camp Perry last year and they replaced the spring in the slide.
It looks like that was the problem, because those 10 shots all functioned great. Previously, I couldn’t get off 3 rounds without a malfunction.
I plan to shoot the High Standard for my next practice outing.
