Shooting Advice

[sammy]

Are you located near the East Bay? If so I am meeting up with another Calgunner to give some lessons to. If local you are welcome to meet up with us and I will help you in any way I can. I have developed a pretty good system for correcting bad habits or better yet catching them before they become habits. I am going Saturday about 10:30-11am. PM me if interested. Sammy

Thanks again guys...I appreciate all the suggestions.... Still struggling a bit with the shaking/flinch, but I think I am improving (VERY SLOWLY). I have been going to the range more frequently and trying to improve. This was one of my better grids of the day today...



If only it were a bit to the right!
I think once 1 round was off target I was going for that area to try to make a consistent group. Again I know not great, but this (believe it or not) is an improvement for me. I think shooting .22 a lot has helped too.

My other problem was that my trigger pull wasn't smooth. I was jerking that trigger. To resolve that, I did way more dry fire practicing. I would balance a quarter on my pistol (sights aligned) and squeeze the trigger....release....repeat. My two goals....where to stay on target....and to keep the quarter steady (not shifting or falling).

This is what we did in the military, dry fire with a coin balanced on the barrel. You need to be smooth with the trigger.
