So the last couple times that i've gone to the range, I have noticed something quit interesting and i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. perhaps some of you guys can help me.
If i try to take my time and use the sights to shoot, my shots end up ALL OVER the target. close enough to be effective, but not close enough to be impressive or brag about.
but if i don't bother with sights and simply draw and fire i hit an average of 3/4 of the shots within 1-2 rings of bullseye.
i'll try to post some pics of my good targets up later (i throw all the bad ones away at the range. LOL), but i just can't figure out how i can be so accurate just shooting by instinct (not sure what else to call it) but if i try to shoot with sights for accuracy then i can't hit the broad side of a barn.
what do you guys think???
in this picture there are only 9visible holes. there are 2 holes on the 8/9 line at 12 o'clock. according to my buddy and my wife i put two rounds through the left hole. in person you can see that that hole has a different pattern and slightly larger tear through it. but whether or not it's truly 2 rounds is hard to say. they say it is. i say i only see 9 hits. no idea.
