Paulie Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) I was dry firing they other day and noticed that my eye was looking for the sight just before the front sight got where it needed to go off a draw. Instead of keeping my eyes on the target and rising the gun where it needed to go, I was inadvertently “looking it off” from where it needed to go by seeking it prematurely. The result was proper sight alignment but a sight picture a few inches under where I intended to shoot. Does that make any sense? I have dry fired enough to automatically draw the sight to my eye but my eagerness to break the shot was interrupting that process. Inadequate visual patience. Not sure if that’s a really silly error or not but thought I’d share it. Edited March 24, 2018 by Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artyforty Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 How often do you work on your draws without actually pulling the trigger? Taking that "eagerness to break the shot" away may help out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Quite a bit actually. I chalk it up to subconscious effort to speed up acquisition of the front sight. The opposite is true...is lands me low and I waste a little time adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
