shred Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 If your dot makes a little squiggle to one side when you fire the shot, that squiggle happened before the bullet left the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Interesting! When I first got 2 barrel holes I had the dot squiggle, it's either gone because I changed my grip or I just learned to ignore it! So tell us how you came to this observation/conclusion.

Matthew_Mink Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I have suspected that was the case ever since I got my open gun. Not that I shoot open alot anyway. Yeah, how did you arrive at that conclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Hmmm...does the dot squiggle before it lifts? I guess if the bullets went to the same side the squiggle was on you could conclude it happened before the bullet left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Well, if you are shooting .11 splits, I don't think you have a lot of time to see it squiggle, plus your pistol never really stops on any single target and is moving all the time... If, you are not TGO, yes, you might see it move around a bit, but is your goal to have a perfectly still dot or to shoot A's as fast as is humanly possible? Don't sweat the small stuff.

Steve Anderson Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I've seen it. I couldn't say where the bullet was in the barrel when it happened, but I called every shot in perfect detail on that stage. It comes with extreme vision input.

Ron Ankeny Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Actually, depending on the loads, I can see the dot lift, then wobble from side to side, then dip before coming back to POA. I conclude all of that happens as a result of the porting and the bullet is long gone. Tightloop: I don't shoot .11 splits, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 What I'm talking about, it's not something that happens all the time.. it comes from me pushing the trigger in a non-directly-backwards direction. Not a real 'yank', but it'll throw the bullet a few inches off where you expected it to be. Since it happens as part of firing the shot, it appears to be part of the recoil-dot-bounce, but really happens beforehand. Easy to detect in practice when your shots aren't quite where you called them, but not so easy to spot in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
