« on: September 29, 2005, 07:35:53 PM »
I continue to shot to far to the left with any of my guns on the average.I start out well but steadily get worse it.I try not think about recoil and concentrate on the front sight,have good handhold etc.I am looking for suggestions.

Eye dominance may be the problem.  More likely, however is your grip and trigger finger position.

Try changing the position of your finger on the trigger. You may be pushing sideways on the trigger as you pull it back. You may be also HOLDING the gun too tightly, or squeezing your grip fingers as you pull the trigger, which can lead to a variety of hard-to-diagnose issues.

  Once you've determined eye dominance, proper trigger control,  ergonomics, and practicing the fundamentals, as Walt said, it could be more complicated.
  Have you considered taking a formal shooting course taught by an NRA instructor at a local range?.  It may be worthwhile if the problem persists.

Be careful that you do not hit a politician! :rollin  

Sorry its past 2:00am and I could not help myself.

Just make sure you do not ever shoot the right. He He.


I agree with Walt. What he said is probably what you are doing.

Try this:
It tells you what you are doing wrong, if you are a lefty, simply reverse the quadrants.

That is the diagram in the link I posted, above.

The Bullseye site is one of the better shooter training aids around.

That is a great aid for all shooters.  Every shooter should have a printed copy of it in their shooting bag.  ,even experienced ones.

You weren't stealing it, just joining in it... <grin>

(You probably responded before reading my response.  I do the same thing, at times.)

I didn't show the display in my response, but put the link, so that those going there could see all the other stuff, too.  Its a great site.
