I put on a Vortex Venom on my G34 using a dovetail mount. I cant seem to get myself to use it right.
I zeroed it at 15 yards. I can shoot a group less than one inch in diamter on a pistol rest. Off hand, grouping is all over the place. From bullseye to 8 inches low.
7 yards, its a 10 inch group. Comparing it to my G19 with iron sights, shooting it side by side, Im grouping with iron sights tightly around the bullseye.
I competed in a USPSA match. On two 35 yards targets, I hit one 6 out of 6, then on the second string, I didnt hit it at all.
With close up targets from 10-15 yards, Id hit some all A zone, then I'd totally miss some as well.
On the last stage, shooting steel plates at 7 yards, I couldnt hit the first plate, someone called out "low by foot". I held over by a foot and hit it. Then proceeded to use the hold over to put down the rest of the plates in short order.
I spoke to another competitor, he said its taken him more than a 1 month to learn to use a reflex red dot. On the first few outings, he actually wanted to strip it off, then slowly grew into it. That depending on the distance, he's had to learn holdovers and co-witnessing the dot with the front blade to make sure he had "presented" the dot the right way so he can hit stuff.
I dont have a front blade, I took all the sights off. I cant blame the sight, it groups well on a pistol rest. Any chance the dot goes out of zero intermitently?
Any advise on what Im doing wrong? I have a Primary Arm micro red dot on another gun. That one is not a reflex unit. I am supernaturally good with it.
