When you say draw and fire 2 are you aiming for both shots? it is easy to get in the habit of aiming the first shot then just pulling the trigger again for the second shot, you need to see the sights for both shots.
Mike
No I see the sights on both shots. I'm making sure of this. It makes for longer splits but its necessary. I can call shots to the point where if I'm outer c or d's I can tell at the lift of the front sight I'm left or right or low. But I cannot call shots n say paste a target where they hit like tommassi does in that you tube video he has for calling shots.
So I don't think shot calling is the issue. As the pic shows all the shots are in the same area not all over.
Mark I see your point with the trigger finger pull example since my shots are right I would think if its my trigger finger it's gotta be a trigger finger push or the weak hand grip you spoke of. I will have to try at the next live fire session to change my grip and see the results. Good example btw. Thanks. I'm new to this and the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. Everything helps
I posted some dry fire videos in the training video section I don't think I can see the exact poi when I pull the trigger there either honestly..... I will slow it down a bit and see if I can see movement in the sights and focus less on speed

Sorry my phone pic upload is crooked. I think the example is still clear

Hi guys. I have an issue I'd like to correct before it becomes ingrained into my conscience mind and becomes bad habit.
During accuracy live fire training I do ok. I can hit my target in 2-3 inch groups at rest in groups of 5. My problem develops under time. After the beep. Or even with no timer but when I'm self timing I'm missing A's. I'm a left handed shooter and I'm missing low and to the right consistently. Ill post a picture on one of my targets and show the group. This was shot in draw fire two stop reset draw fire two. As you can see a nice group but all low and right.
Remember I'm a lefty.

I was wondering if anyone sees any bad habits in my dry fire drills that need to be corrected before they get burnt in as bad habits.
Thanks guys

I hope you got better weather then us. Maybe no matches up here till may

Get one of those cheap laser boresights that wedge in the barrel and dry fire. You will see the spot bounce shift and wobble reflecting any flaws in your trigger press. Cheaper and easier than burning up ammo and, IMO, in some ways more effective.
I like this. I have been frustrated with consistently missing the a zone at speed. This along with other suggestion will be great help. Thanks guys

interesting tidbit that has held me back in the hardchrome quest. taken from FAQ on infinity/svi website Q: Do you offer Chrome Plating as a finish option?
A: Our stated goal in manufacturing is to go further in innovation and quality. A large part of quality is longevity and reliability. Due to the hydrogen embrittlement implications of hard chroming we find this process is detrimental to the quality of the product.

very good question. I as well tried an open gun and loved it. but i'm gonna shoot limited for a few years to get fundamentals before i make the plunge.
one point of interest a seasoned shooter once said to me was shooting open is great fun but its also the most competetive with the top finishers within tenths of a second of one another. that advise is another reason i'm shooting limited first. might be nice to have at least a chance of placing in a match to puff my ego

Wow Chris. That was well put. I think your right.
During dry fire with a loose grip or uncomfortable bad grip the sights move down and to the right. Although I can dry fire fast not making them move.
I think I'm afraid of the gun (bang)??. And I know there is tension in my face. I'm left handed right eye dominant. So I squint my right eye to make sure I'm focusing with it for the first shot. Then open both till mag change. I think with more practice ill be more confident I'm raising gun to the correct eye
Guess its time to get to work. Thanks for more great advise.
