[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2234747, member: 1242"] I did this when I first started shooting again after taking some time off from my neck injury. (Truth is I've always had a touch of this problem, but it was HORRID when I'd had some time off.) Like HiredHand said, dry firing can help A BUNCH. Get intimately familar with your trigger and how your hand works when you are squeezing that trigger off. Focus on only moving/squeezing the finger on the trigger -- not the other fingers wrapped around the grip. They should remain motionless. I know I'm telling you stuff you already know -- you just need a little reminder. 10 times a session, three times a day for a week. Then go back to the range and do the same exercise with a loaded gun. Don't worry about getting shots off fast or anything like that. It took me about a month of dry firing every day (don't tell GC but I skipped a few days -- HEY! I was busy!! :D ) and once a week at the range. Oh ... and I'm guessing this gun is sighted but you are still hitting way low you say?? You are looking down the slide at the sight. Get that gun UP and get the slide LEVEL before you try to pick up the sight. Do you have a neck or shoulder or upper back injury by chance? If so, THAT is what's causing your new problem. Hope this helps! (You don't gotta do 60 -- that'll just make your upper body tired and you'll just get worse ... :D) [/QUOTE]
