Default Today's 40c groupings

Here are today's groupings. Target on the left was at 20 feet. Target on the right was at about 15 feet. This is my third time shooting my pistol and third time shooting a handgun in general. Still need work but my groupings are getting better.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367187350.243764.jpg

Im a lefty and wgen i first started shooting my targets looked exactly like that.

Your not pulling the trigger straight back. Instead as you pull back youre also pushing to the right

That's a great start. You have a nice group there for a new shooter.
The grouping is important. It shows that you have constitancy and are not jerking the trigger or flinching much.
Now, with a few tips, a little more concentration and practice, you'll be able to move that group to the middle and tighten it up.

Nice, I finally got to take out my new 40c today and its a shooter for sure! I had a Sigma 40 and just hated the trigger on it. The bad guys are in big trouble.
