[Rolex]

Can any one help me- all of a sudden

my shots are going left center to left low. Am

I pulling the trigger to hard or is time to push

the sight. No just had the eyes checked-there

Jerking... dryfire to correct.

[Hi-Power Jack]

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.

You problem wasn't a yank, but a push.

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.

[Rolex]

Ok guys I'll try all these suggestions at the range

Friday- And put them into play at Saturdays match!

low and left ?

Try a search. Lots of info.

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.

PRACTICE TRIGGER CONTROL!!

Gun must not deviate from left to right or up and down.

do not get sloppy on IPSC targets. Practice on round steels!!

[HotIce]

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.
