beagle magically shoots high

[WoodrowShootist]

i'm completely puzzled by the behavior of my imi beagle (baby eagle) compact 9mm. it used to shoot right on. great pistol. then it sat in the safe for bout a year not and when i took it out recently the poi changed. it shot 1" high and 2" right.

i've tried a loose grip, death grip, dissasembly re-lube of gun and mags, 4 different kinds of ammo and no change. it groups well and everything just the poi changed. any ideas on why and how to remedy it?

I personally would never shoot one of these.

LOL same idea, same picture!

Is there a loose nut behind the wheel?








j/k I am stumped. Hence the sarcasm.

Maybe your shooting mannerisms have changed since you shot it last? Grip ever-so-slightly different, eyes got worse, something like that?

When I read the title, I initially thought a beagle got in someone's stash then got it's paw in a trigger guard and had a ND.







ETA: 200th post. Yay!

what the OP inadequately describes really isn't possible.
I'd suggest the OP has someone else try shooting the pistol.
And I'm wondering what the OP has been shooting in the interim, maybe there's an issue of a different grip angle that he's become adjusted to, now causing him to shoot high with this pistol.

your beagle shouldnt be shooting period especially high

[eighteenninetytwo]

That's right. Beagles are reknowned for howling and are therefore mad. Therefore they should not have access to firearms. plus the lack of opposable thumbs causes significant problems with accurate shooting.

i find this impossible as well. but i've had 3 other people shoot the beagle and it doesn't shoot where they aimed it. but it groups well. just not where it was aimed.

maybe i need to get a third party that doesn't know anything about the gun to shoot it.

thanks for your guys's input

i'm not shooting a beagle, the beagle is the one doing the shooting! haaha

D-d-deagle. As in slang for Desert Eagle. A beagle is the cute little dog pictured above.

As for why your pistol's shooting high and right, it could be anything. Either shoot it off a rest, or let someone you know is a good pistol shot shoot it to see if it's actually printing high and right. If it is, adjust the sights accordingly. Maybe you used to have a flinch ( meaning you used to shoot low left, so the gun appeared to be shooting to POA), and now you don't.

Bottom line, a beagle is a dog.

Deagle = Desert Eagle
Beagle = Baby Eagle
Beagle also = cute little dog

It's his gun. I'm sure he knows what he has.

huangtow: Just thought of this...could the crown have been damaged, throwing off the accuracy?

POI high and right seems like a flinch is unlikely. Wouldn't a flinch be low and right/left?

Those 'shot-correction' targets would diagnose the problem as "Heeling (Recoil Anticipation)". Not sure what that means, though.

[BamBam-31]

Aaahh, never thought of that!

Are the sights adjustable or fixed?

When I have point of aim questions, I shoot the gun from a rest - a sandbag or my range bag (which is covered with scorch marks).

Rest it, shoot at 7-10 yards, slooow, careful trigger squeeze, 10 rounds, and ignore the holes, just keep the sights lined up through the squeeze.

If it's still shooting off, start looking closely at your sights, try different ammo from the rest, and it should become clear.
