Ok, I remember at one point seeing a sort of test target that showed you where you were going wrong with your shot placement. Before I spend hard earned cash on an instructor, I figured it coulnd't hurt to get a little sage advice.
I learned how to shoot in the military so I have a basic idea of sight picture and stance. Since I got my first civilian gun a while back I have been working primarily on shot placement. After messing around with various grips and all that I found what seems to work best for me...sort of. All my best groups are high and to the right. I have been using center of mass targets with five oval targets per sheet at about 7 yards. I'm to the point that if I go slow and steady 85-90% of my shots are in the black, but still my smallest groups always wind up high and to the right.
Advise? I know there is no substitute for a decent instructor watching what I do and pointing things out in-situ, but hey, I wouldn'y be a guy if I didn't try to figure it out on my own first, right? :biggrin2:
