Another trick is to check the gun is empty then tape a laser pointer to the barrel and dry fire at a dot on the wall and watch what happens to the laserpointer when the trigger breaks.

I'm not an excellent shot, but I am getting better. (I might have a couple of targets that indicate I do ok, but the body of work isn't excellent.) Over the course of a couple of months, I've gone from groups of 4"-6" at 7 yards to 3"-5" at 25 yards. I shot a 5" 5 shot group at 50yds tonight. Problem is there was a 6th shot that took it to 7+". Had a 2.75" 6 shot group at 25yds as well. But a couple over 4". I'm very pleased with sub 3" groups at 25yds right now. The gun shoots better than I can, and I'd like to start seeing several good targets, rather than one really good, 2 ok and 3 that I'm not proud of. I do like that I know which shots are my bad ones (it used to be I'd have no idea which shots were good and which were bad).

The laserpointer idea seems pretty good, but I understand that you shouldn't dry fire a .22.
