Hi-Power Jack Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I had the exact opposite problem recently, and the shots were going up and right. I put a target out at 35 yards (with C-More), and 25 yards with iron sights, and rested my arms on a solid rest, firing 5 shot groups slowly and deliberately to get a real small group (hopefully:() Then I looked to see if the shots were centered. If not centered, then I adjusted the sights. If the shots were centered, then it's me and my grip or yank. If it's the grip/yank, I shoot at small reactive targets for a shooting session so I can instantaneously determine if I've pulled the shot, for each shot. That cured my yank for a while, anyway, and then went back to my IPSC target practice at paper targets. Hope that helps. & Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Lord Gomer Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Can any one help me- all of a suddenmy shots are going left center to left low. When I did that it was because I was using too much of my trigger finger. When I moved it out and started using just the pad to pull the trigger, I quit pushing them to the left.

JWBooth Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 From the old bullseye shooters, (talking about a right hand shooter) low, and left was a jerk (or anticipation of recoil, and jerking the trigger with closing of the hand tighter) high and right was "heeling " shoving the heel of the hand forward, also in anticipation of recoil. Shots straight down at 6 o'clock is "no follow through" or relaxing the grip before the bullet left the barrel. Another good cure is a couple of sessions of "ball, and dummy rounds" . Have a friend load your mags with a dummy round somewhere in the mag. Then shoot. JWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun must not deviate from left to right or up and down. do not get sloppy on IPSC targets. Practice on round steels!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotIce Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 It was too much trigger finger even when I did that. You see different conclusions about where too much trigger finger will make the bullet strike. You can see that to some, it generates left hits, to other right hits. I noticed this depends on the hand size. In smaller hands (like mine) the joint tends to generate a force that is more in the 1->7 clock direction (because of the shorter reach on the trigger), that pushes the bore on the left size. Likewise, bigger hands tends to generate 11->5 clock direction forces (bigger reach), that push the bore on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
