My personal report/review
My personal report/review
This is more about how I shoot, because you can only go so far no matter how modded your weapon is.
I've been battling pistol issues for a couple years now. For the most part I'm self taught, and limited on ways to correct problems.
Taking a step here to not show off how badass I may be, but to show that I need to do more work.
Went to the local private range, and these are my results at 10 yards...
Smith & Wesson model 13-1 .357 4"
S&W Shield with Ameriglo I-dot sights and APEX EDC kit

A majority of the "flyers" are due to being in between AR's, that's my excuse.

There are a lot of inconsistencies... especially with grip and trigger squeeze. At the end of day it comes down to... fundamentals fundamentals fundamentals

I personally think who ever made those excuses up for those targets are mildly autistic.
Breathing in and out, muscle flex and lots of other stuff contribute to missing the X.

I need work, a lot. First step is admitting a problem, right?

I will work on becoming more religious with dry fire drills. I hope to show improvement the next range trip.

At 10 yards both of these are more important than sight alignment.

Re: My personal report/review
If you really want to improve, try dry fire drills with a laser. Watch the dot as you pull through the trigger. You will be amazed at how much the dot dances around.
When you can stroke through the trigger with a minimum of movement on the dot, the X will quail in fear, forever.
Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Re: My personal report/review
I've been extremely busy this year and out of town pretty consistently since January. However, things should slow down in May for a bit, so if you ever want to try to link up for a range training session just let me know and we can get it worked out.Bama wrote:I will work on becoming more religious with dry fire drills.

Honestly, I think that would be awesome, and would probably have a friend tag along too.DDgunslinger wrote:I've been extremely busy this year and out of town pretty consistently since January.

Re: My personal report/review
One thing that helps me with milking the cow, and overall better trigger finger, is learning to isolate the trigger finger from rest of my hand. I do this by repititious excercises of imaginary pistol gripped in totally loose fingers, and repetititions of pulling trigger. Try it. Then when all fingers stay still except trigger finger, do it a few hundred times, every week to build the bodys memory.
