(Indoor "gallery", perfect score is a 600.)
One of the marks of a proficient pistol shot is the ability to score above 500. Last Thursday night at the gun club my 15 year old son broke 500 for the first time ever! 513! Sweeter still, most of the older men he admires so much were there to see it happen. I was a little off my game, and the little goober even beat me by 2 points! He'll turn 16 this summer and he wants to join the Guard as soon as he legally can. His ambition is to make the Pistol team like his Idol, Lynn B., who shot for the U.S. Army for many years, and has been coaching him.
As an aside; he's a better shot with a shotgun than I ever was, and I expect him to pass me with a rifle soon. (And I'm pretty good with a rifle.)
Ah, youth!
