I have just begun to try to attain shooting accuracy with a handgun. All shots at a non bullseye IDPA target are printing on the left half of the target. I am not trying to fast fire or double tap. Every shot is controlled slow fire. The gun i have been shooting is a S.A. Range Officer. I have tried adjusting the rear Bomar site with no success. From a rest the gun will print honest two inch groups at 25 yards with my reloads.
I think part of my accuracy problem is that I have participated in the shotugn sports for years. I realize trigger control as well as sight picture is very different between a shotgun and a pistol. I am trying to concentrate on sight picture and trigger squeeze - but to no avail. Everything just keeps going left. I have changed my grip and my stance. Not change in result. I've had two friends shoot my gun - they are center mass with it. Distance to the target is 7 yards.
Should I:
shoot bullseye targets only until i gain proficiency ?
move closer until i start getting center hits ?
adjust my grip ?
keep working on trigger control ?
I need help ! !
