Joe D Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Have someone insert a dummy round into one of your mags along with live ammo. All of your questions will be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Bell Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Just left or low and left? Left = You are pushing the gun left as the shot breaks Low and Left = Pushing left and jerking the gun as the shot breaks Lots of dry fire practice will help with this Just the tip of your finger on the trigger, not the joint and no other contact on the frame with the trigger finger. You have to learn to isolate the movement of your trigger finger do not sympathetically squeeze your other fingers as you move your trigger finger.

Sean Gaines Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 every glock that I have owned or shot with the exception of one has shot to the left out of the box, move your rear sight to the right a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallow Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 HI I OWN A G-17 and love it but I shoot left alot and want to no why. MY groups are very good But just to the left any Help would be great ty. If your groups are good you just need to adjust your sights. I don't think anyone whacks the trigger consistantly enough to get good groups. The first thing Plaxco used to do in his classes was have the students shoot for group on an IPSC target and then have everybody adjust their sights to center the group.

psyops Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 +1 with Paper and Gallow. Move your sights to the right a little and relax your right thumb. Mine almost points to sky. And dry fire LOTS. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you shoot it off sandbags or weak handed and the problem is not there, then moving your sights will not help the ultimate problem. read that thread that Roger provided.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann the Horrible Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 What you can also look at is the position of your finger on the trigger. If the sights are centered and you keep on hitting left it could mean that your trigger finger is not far enough through on the trigger. What happens is that the trigger is not pulled back straight but to the side as your finger is partially pushing against the side of the trigger. This pushes the gun off target right as the trigger breaks. Try this, it might be part of the solution. By the way, welcome to the sport and forum. Just reading and understanding what it said on the forum and then practicing it pushed my score up by some 17%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I had the same problem and moved my sights. But not after I checked were my shots went shooting weak hand (thanks Flex). If you keep shooting to the left, I would tap the sights to the right a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
