So I went shooting and...

[call_me_ski]

I cant seem to hit my target.

I have a glock 17 and at 5 yards I could not get on target.

What could be wrong? I think the gun is broken.

What size group do you normally shoot?

$200 if you want to sale that broken plastic gun of yours and get your self a 1911 they always hit what your aiming at!!!

99% of the time it is the shooter. But, since you were shooting a Glock, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I am wondering if you are aware that a Glock 17 uses 9mm ammo and not .17 caliber ammo though.



Seriously, you haven't given enough info. Is this your first time shooting this gun? What kind of shooting experiences do you have? Did you let an experienced shooter try it? What kind of ammo were you shooting? It can make a difference.

Try using snapcaps or dry-firing the gun to determine if you have a flinch. it usually is the shooter.

EDIT: wait you couldn't hit the *5* yd target??

Shoot at this and it'll tell you what's wrong....





and i suggest printing it unless you have plenty of extra computer screens.....

Haha,

Thats just me messing with one of my employees.

He can *probably* hit the 5 yard target

Shooting too low or too hi are both usually caused by trigger pull anticipation. Concentrate on your breathing and your sights. Forget about the target, where your bullet is going or when the gun is going to go off. Let the trigger "surprise you". Shoot slow until you have these basics down.

So that's why I see monitors all shot to hell. OH well, at least they are fairly cheap.

At 5 yards, even someone who's never fired a gun before should be able to get *something* on paper.

I took a friend to the range and he missed the paper at 5 feet!! Not 5 yrds but 5 feet... was kinda funny, we were teasing him that there were blanks in the gun.
