    Laser for AIM

    Is it useful to use a laser attachment to help get your aim corrected? So you can start to understand the proper "view" so your shots are more accurate?

    I'm trying to correct my aim(it is not horrible, just not nearly as accurate as I would like.) I've seen the chart, but part of me thinks I'm either I'm holding the gun incorrectly or maybe I should try using my left hand and aiming with my left eye, as I'm unsure of which is dominant(im right handed, but i tend to write like crap...so it makes me wonder if i picked the wrong hand :P).

    Thanks guys.

      I shot a gun with a laser, the only upside I saw out of it was the fact that you can see if you flinch really clearly if you are using snap caps mixed with normal ammo. You want to kick your own butt when you see how much the dot wiggles after you pull the trigger and it does not go bang.

        Lasers are used for night combat. Most night time gun fights are close and no time to take aim with iron sights.

          Even a marginally trained Jedi knight can fend off lasers using a light saber. Focus on the front sight, and use the force.

          Front sight, focus, squeeze, surprise break. Repeat a few thousand time by dry fire, dry fire, dry fire. Shoot more, shoot more, shoot more. Save the money you'd spend on a gayser and buy more ammo.

          Thousands of men have trained themselves to be great shooters without lasers. What makes you think you're any different? You're most likely breaking your aim just before or as the trigger breaks. You don't need to spend money on a laser to tell you that. You need to practice trigger control.

          I wonder if this guy used a laser???

            A laser is very helpful in understanding your hold and trigger control. Practice keeping the dot steady throughout the firing sequence can be quite the learning experience for any level of shooting skill.

            Other than that, they keep the cats and dogs busy.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......Cicero

              I'm not a laser advocate. Practice with your iron sites. You'll thank me later.
              I move slow but I make up for it by shooting poorly.

              When I hit the lotto I'm only shooting factory.

                I have a few snap caps - I do know that I can close my eyes when I'm at the range because of the initial shock. The more I "concentrate" the more my shots can be off. For example, if I was to have the gun in my hand and at my side, quickly lift and make a shot it should be quite accurate. But if I stopped to AIM that shot more, I'd end up with a worse shot.

                Trying to keep my eyes open would ultimately help my aim problem I'm sure.

                  Place your hands in front of your eyes at arms' length, leaving a small hole between them. Look at a distant object through the hole. Slowly bring your hands towards your face, keeping the distant object in the hole. The eye your hand hole ends up in front of is your dominant eye.

                      I'd rather be a jedi master


                      I'm not quite sure what that says about me though
