changed the trigger pull and went back to the range. Changed it initially and dried fired with it seemed to be OK just at the range it was too much of a hair trigger that no way I could use it in competition. Changed it again so will try in on Sunday to see if it is better. shot on one side very quiet for a while and had to switch to the other side when several people showed up at once shooting pistol. When seven people shoot at the same time me and the target moves that is how loud it is. The other side was very dark since I think many lights are burnt out and have not been replaced. More like shooting at dusk about 30 mins after sunset- yes it was that dark. ended up shooting well standing with this other crappy ammo for some reason. Got 30 out 30. only ended up shooting 85 rounds.

ran to the gym and back. first run of the day.

ran to pick up my car from the shop and had to get a ride the rest of the way to make it before it closed.

ran to the gym and back.

after not lifting well for the past two weeks it went really well today. Did leg extensions, tricep pull downs, bicep curls, rows, shoulder press ( right felt fine just weaker), leg press, calf raise, wrist curls (front and back), lat pull down, hamstring curl, leg press

This time tried the high quality, middle quality and cheap ammo to see how well they group. Shot 85 rounds prone. The high quality made even a smaller group versus shooting with the Anschutz, the medium was OK and the cheap stuff really was very inaccurate. The range stayed open a little later so got to shoot some extra. When I got home decided it was time to read the instructions especially the part on how to change the trigger pull.

initially shot well prone, but it all fell apart once people started shooting high powered ammo. Never did shoot that well after that. I will have to try all the different ammos again to see what works the best. The cheap stuff that worked fairly well in the Anschutz is not as good in the Izhmash. shot 100 rounds prone and 50 standing.

ran on the trail which were rather sloppy due to the rains. temps just above freezing so made for a little bit of a cold run.

sitting in the house too much so went out and stretched my legs. Warm enough for shorts and probably could have worn only a singlet also.

more dry firing.

warm up before lifting.

Did some balance exercises, squats, a lot of work focused around my shoulders, back flex, squats, split squats.

dry firing. glad I did this before going back to the range, able to set my gun up much better for me including the cheek rest which I had set to high removing a couple of washers to lower. Switched between prone and standing to be sure I had the best of both. See how it is on Wednesday when I use live rounds.

ran on the trail. ran INCREDIBBLY well did not realize I was this quick until I finished and added up the distance. This trail is fast, but it is still gently rolling. A light amount of rain made it faster, making the ground just soft enough to really move also ran with someone that was fast also. only one mile on the roads. it went so well ended here may try to run later in the day for more mileage.
