mvslay Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I have a quirk about my sight in. I have noticed when I Zero sight in on open sight/iron sight firearms I end up with the rear sight hard right. I don't feel this is a trigger pull issue. It is also on AR's and other open sight rifles. I have fairly tight groups. When I jerk a round it is low and a good deal left. Do I have a vision problem? If so do I need to correct it or just slam the sights full right and drive on? I shoot both eyes open and am Right eye Dominant and right handed.

mvslay Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 I rarely let anyone else shoot any of my guns. I'll have to get back on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbu Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 No offence, but I'd bet it's the shooter. I've seen people with snatch / jerk quirks make consistent tight groups a foot or more away from the point of aim. Let a skilled shooter try it.

MemphisMechanic Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Shoot the gun left handed. If you make errors, they'll be in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gunnuts Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Your eye is not centering correctly in the rear peep. I have the same issue if I do not make a conscious effort to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasterboy Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have the same issue, except I'm a lefty, so everything is opposite. I've concluded that I push the gun during the trigger pull, but I do it very consistently. With .13 splits at 5 yards and A's and C's on targets at 50 yards; I don't think I'm broken so why try and fix it. As mentioned above, try week hand and see where you hit. When I shoot week hand, I am at the edge of 10 yard poppers and at the center of an imaginary target next to the target at 20-25 yards. If anybody else ever shoots my guns, they hit generally were I hit when I shoot week handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to move the sights 2-3 clicks right on every pistol that I own to get centered groups, even from a rest. Of course I could be contributing to some degree by jerking the trigger.
