Today I thought I would do something a little different. I have reviewed a lot of guns in this blog, but somehow my aim hasn't improved much. David Elderton of Ky Tac Holsters and Instruction, and an instructor with Heartland Outdoors offered some tips.
Just watching my performance David imediatley offered an encyclopedia of better ways to shoot. I encourage you to take one of Heartland Outdoors' classes. The biggest thing David taught me was my grip. Thus far I have been holding my gun like this:
It is what he calls the "Cup and Saucer" grip. The problem with the grip is it allows a lot of energy from the gun to kick back which keeps your aim inconsistent as evident with this target:
The hits should be centered in the middle of the target. Not up and to the right.
David suggested I change my trip to this one.
My left hand clasped over my right knuckles, firmly grasped to allow my right to concentrate on pulling the trigger. This grip is much better at steadying the pistol, and keeping the shots better grouped. In spite of this target already having several hits (the taped holes), the dark holes in the center are mine taking David's advice.
I'll update you next week on my progress with more of David's suggestions.
