Crazy

When I aim I'm trying to go roughly for the middle of the target but this is easier said than done. As for my shots using the 63% size target I'm hitting about 75% A, 20% C and 5% D. But thats with a .22 at 10m (11yds). I don't have a centrefire yet but I imagine it would be a lot more horrible. I will try to draw a small dot on the target and see how I go. Another question which has popped to mind is I'm practicing with a scaled down target - 63% of real size. Is this a bad thing? The reason I do it is because the full size targets are massive and I can't print that big. Would it be better to just print off the full size A and C zones of a target (or even just the A zones) and practice on those or stick with the reduced size targets?

Throughout my shooting I've shot at white paper targets that have a black bullseye dot because this is what the local range has. The bottom of the black dot has always been my point of aim. I have recently printed some scaled down IPSC classic targets and the shooting at them is really tripping me out because there is no specific aiming reference. Does anyone have any tips as to how to overcome this esp when practicing transitions or coming up from the draw? My shooting has gone from nice groups to shotgun because of this.

Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I only have recently found this forum and have been having a read - a wealth of knowledge here. I shot for about a 8 months in 2007 mainly just blasting away at the range but let my license lapse, Got it back again a couple months ago and have been taking things more seriously - I want to compete in IPSC matches at some point in the future. I have a Ruger MK3 22/45 which I bought because it was cheap and ammo is cheap as well. It lets me compete in the matches that my club holds and I can practice without too much cost. So far I have been completely self taught - picking up bits here and there but making it up as I go. I've finally decided to get some expert opinions on my shooting so I'm bracing myself for a heap of criticism (which is a good thing ) Anyhow, these are my two videos: Sorry about them being sideways but I have no video editing software on my computer (not using Windows) and the computer is so old it would have a heart attack if I did get some. Also due to being constrained to the shooting bays I can't get too many other angles. In the first video I have my head quite far down which is the way that makes the sight picture steadiest for me. In the second one I've tried to keep my head up which is what I see most shooters doing in the pics and videos. Please point out anything I am doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated.
