[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 2688125, member: 6145"] one suggestion i have concerning handguns is: bench shoot your gun. put your gun on a good bench rest and shoot at a cross hair target at about 8 feet. if your on, take it out to 15 feet, if on, take it out further. if not on at 8-9 feet, then the problem is how you are holding the gun or pulling the trigger, or using and keeping your signts on target when you pull the trigger or closing your eyes when shooting. if you are consistently off and hitting the same area, there are defined problems and fixes that you can work on. at 8 feet you should be hitting the cross hairs every time, maybe at most an inch off. if you are not on at 8 feet then i would identify you problem and work on it before trying to shoot a farther distances. I have instructed students that just are not accurate with handguns. they have shot and shot and just cannot shoot a consistent group. distance is really a problem for them. this may sound weird but some personalitites are just not very good shots. What i have seen is that people with sensentive personalities have trouble being accurate. I also think your ability to concentrate plays a big part in shooting handguns. i have had students that did OK for about 20 bullets and then their consistency just went down hill and they never got back to shooting accurately.
