Don Plante

I think I’ve got it! Or rather I should say that I think Don Plante figured it out.

Do you ever ask questions like these? When did I last replace the recoil spring in the wad gun and does it run best with 11 or 12 pounds for my current load?

Okay, I’m convinced. My Springfield Armory “Mil-Spec” 1911 in Parkerized finish is becoming an impediment to my learning to shoot, but perhaps not in the way many would think.

It was “International” at Nighthawks league last night. The turnout was relatively small especially considering that the temperature had backed off from previous weeks.

Shooting, I’m beginning to suspect, is like riding a bicycle. Intellectually you know what you have to do but as long as you have to think about it, you’re gonna crash.
