Acsr Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hey I've shoot open for 3 years, i track the dot fine, but always get a 1 o clock dot travel instead of directly 12 o clock, I'm sure it's in my grip which I would like to adjust but looking for some quick bits of advice to get me a bit of a head start as I sort it out. Thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 It doesn't matter if it tracks straight up, so long as it returns. If you watch it lift and can call your shots, then it is irrelevant where it goes IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamesNotMike Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 When I shoot mine the dot tracks up slightly to the left and then back to the center. The dot never leaves the circle and it comes back to the same place. For me I didn't notice that it changed when I changed my grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Might also depend on the powder you use, and your PF. Are you using 115's or 124 gr bullets ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acsr Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 124, not a fan of 115, and I get the sane dot pattern with all powders I've used, cfe, a.c., #7 and 3n38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eern Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 mine also track to the 1:30 position and I have spoke with several dot shooting (CO and Open) and this holds true for them as well. For me it is all about if it does the same thing every time and returns to the same spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theWacoKid Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Without making any other change, the thumbrest you use can adjust this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklab Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Oddly enough mine tracks straight up and down. Could the comp affect how the dot tracks? I don’t have any side ports on my comp, just 3 ports up. When I was shooting a shorty with a Trubor barrel that had ports on the side the dot didn’t track very well. But I don’t know if that was from the comp or just because it was a different setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockman75 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I think your 1:00 tracking is in the thumb-rest / grip combo. I test things and sometimes I try shooting with my hands doing a push pull and the dot seems to track more straight up and down. I also do not think it matters. You need to see where it lifted to call the shot and watch it settle back who cares if it’s at 11:00 - 1:00?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
