Shot both the marvel and the MKII. Slow fires were 87 and 88 respectively. In retrospect I should have used my head and warmed up before shooting because I had a better area of hold on my second string than my first. Had some tens with the Marvel that shouldn't have been there and a six that I had no idea it was there when it broke. The Ruger area of hold was better and seemed to be better on call, AND they were ALL IN THE BLACK.
Timed fire was a waste of time. I just can't hold for 20 seconds yet and tremble like a baby the last 10 seconds. Area of hold was edge of paper to edge of paper. Squeaked out an 87 and was very thankful about that score.
Rapid fire was better. I only shot the Ruger for a couple of rapids. First was a 89-1x. The second I didn't get a chance to score (I volunteer as the Range Officer for pistol night and had a couple of new shooters that needed to be certified to shoot). As the line was full, and I had shot all the good shots I was capable of shooting that night, I put them on my station. But there were a couple more holes in the white and a couple more x's than there were in the first string so I know it wasn't better than the first, probably mid to higher 80's.
It's coming along, the first night I could only shoot 5 rounds (with a miss), that was a month ago and last night I could have shot a 600 match with the same amount of effort at the end as the first 5 rounds a month ago.
FWIW
