Problem shooting pistol after shooting AR. HELP!

[evidens83]

So I just got back from Iron Sights. Took out the AR and my new Glock G19. I shot 100 rounds through the AR with no problems on target good groupings as usual. After I ran out of ammo I loaded up the G19 and gave it a go. Groupings were horrible. I had flyers here and there low, high, left, right you name it I shot horribly! This only happens after I shoot my AR though. Took out the 1911 couple weeks back and the same problem happened. Does it have something to do with the trigger transition from AR to handgun? What am I doing wrong? If I shoot my pistols before my AR I shoot perfectly fine. But if I do it in reverse its a mess I need some tips to fix this! Any and all suggestions are welcome thanks!

I think you need to work out more. The AR might be too heavy. j/k

I think everybody fatigues after any of type of shooting.

I've seen this with different shooters.

IMO it's a concentration problem.

You use up your ability to concentrate after trying for good groups with the long gun, and when you transition to the pistol you can't properly concentrate on the BRASS - Breath, Relax, Aim, Slack, Squeeze.

I suggest trying this: Go to the range, fire only 20 rounds from the rifle, then transition to the pistol. See if your groups are tighter with less rifle before the pistol.

If you shoot well with the pistol, go back to the rifle side and fire another 20 rounds, go back to the pistol and try again.

This is time consuming, but it's about the only way you're going to be able to train yourself to not drop concentration with the transition between the two.

I have the same problem sometimes, and i have noticed it's from squeezing my non dominant eye to hard. I usually shoot both eyes open, but when trying to hard for groups it effects my eyes. And with that the shorter sight plane of a pistol later multiplies the problem. I am thinking about using a blinder on one eye when I'm really trying for the most accuracy. Might be why alot of highpower guys wear them along with blinders etc...
