Pretty solid with the Sig tonight

[HardDrive]

Just went through rounds 500-700 in my Sig 226R. Starting to calm down a bit and get some consistancy.

Nice grouping, but you seem to be a little high and left...

Big time. I am still anticipating the recoil a bit.

Nice! At how many feet/yards?

[slodave]

Total guess on this one... Seems like you are right handed, shooting with two hands and possibly tilting the gun to the left a degree or two - causing the high/left grouping. Anyway, you are a very good shot none the less!

About 25 feet.

Right handed shooting with 2 hands. Not sure about the tilt, but I will watch it next time.

Nice work!

You're shooting consistently in the same place, which is great.

On the "shooting high", you may simply need to adjust how you "hold". With some handguns you hold at 6 o'clock (place front sight "under" the target), with some you hold right on (place front sight "covering" the target). If you are holding on the target, try holding at 6 o'clock. I prefer 6 o'clock holds since I like leaving the target unobscured.

On the "shooting left", try using the pad of your finger on the trigger and pulling straight back (sometimes people use the joint of their finger and squeeze, thus inadvertently shifting the gun to the left). Try dry firing to see if you are shifting the gun, or flinching. If you can't find any reason why you are shooting left, maybe you should benchrest it to judge whether the sights need adjusting - but sight adjustment should be a last resort.

I've got to try a SIG someday. Everyone seems to like them.

Sig good.

john with the holiday winding down, we should arrange that pelican range meet. you can shoot my sig as much as you want. i am trying to convince one of my co-woorker to coach me. he can draw pictures with his sig. strangley enough he has a wandering eye. neither eye ever looks in the same direction. harddrive you shoot great. centermass!

nice, my buddy is a fed, and when he did his recurrent weapons training he kept the paper target. He could cover his group at 100ft with the palm of his hand, one high and left, 29 that would have all hit a silver dollar, he has some freaky 20-10 vision

[dhoward]

That's pretty phenomenal shooting from a service weapon, no matter what your eyesight is...

[Tobra]

Sorry, that was a bit misleading, that was with an M-16 on semi, unloading the clip in under a minute. He says it is a really easy gun to shoot accurately.

Oh yeah, talked to him and it was 100 yards, glad he would be the one to stop any escape attempts on the Con Air run

That is some excellent shooting! As far as the eyesight goes, it does not have to be all that great. You have to remember to focus on the front sight and keep it crystal clear while the target is somewhat fuzzy. When squeezing the trigger, the action should be smooth with no anticipation.

That above target is outstanding shooting!

David,

As hard as it was beaten into our heads, I'm sure you remember "Sight Alignment, Sight Picture." And don't forget your B.R.A.S.S., or Natural Point Of Aim. If there is one thing Marines can do, that would be SHOOTING!

I had a Beretta 92FS that shot better than that when I concentrated. I traded the damn thing off! I loved the single action trigger on it. Just sucked that you couldn't go condition 1 with it.

Now my groups with my CZ75B look like that at 7 yards (21 feet). And I can carry condition 1. I almost never use the double action trigger on it. The CZ's single action is a little funky... if you watch the hammer closely, it actually moves a hair back before the sear breaks. It's still a nice trigger.

This all reminds me, I picked up a new magazine I need to go put some rounds through to test it! Maybe when I get Stinky running, I'll have time on the weekend to go drop a couple hundred through her.

"I could put a round through a flea's ********* at 1000 yards."

I forgot where I heard that... but always thought it was funny.

Nice shooting HD.

Here's a decent one from my SIG Pro 2340 in .357. This was 12 rds. at 25 ft.
