Smitty79 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 When I'm doing transition drills, it's not hard to get the front sight to stop at my point of aim. The problem that's hurting my hit factor, is that the front sight doesn't stop well enough centered in the notch. Is there a drill or technique to help the gun to show up at the point of aim with better alignment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItZallGooD Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I wish I could help out but I have the same problem. The sights come down nice but the post is always touching the left side of the rear notch. I am assuming that it has something to do with my grip. I have a few things that I want to try now that the weather will let me get out and shoot again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Same... but I push them off to the right. Pretty sure it's unbalanced pressure from the weak side thumb alongside the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'd suggest getting one of the books by either Ben Stoeger or Steve Anderson. Plenty of transition drills there. I believe you are local in PDX? If so, send me a pm and I'll get you contact info for a very good instructor. You've probably seen his group out in force at local matches. One of the things we've worked a lot on is target transitions. The good news is this is an easy skill to work in dry fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty79 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm doing the standard drills. Looking for something specific to keeping things lined up as I transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog_99 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 If I were to guess I'd say that the geometry of your shoulders, arms, and hands is changing when you transition. You should be rotating at hips and below, not moving your hands in relation to your shoulders. Essentially you should be like a turret from the waist up.

seadog_99 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I use my legs heavily in wide transitions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
