I shot this at 10 yards. 15 shots about once every second or two. Not sure if that's a standard sized target, but it's about 7"x5". I've been shooting pistols for a little over a year, and have about 500 rnds through my Glock 19. Ignore the two up top.  |

Quoted: u missed the X if that's what u were aiming @ An act of God.

I've got an uncanny ability to point-shoot pretty accurately, and I can double and triple tap pretty accurately. But my accuracy doesn't improve much when I slow down and try to aim. More specifically, I can draw and shoot quickly and hit the target you posted without even aiming, at around 30'. But I won't get tight groups if I try to be accurate. |
| I'm far from an expert, but if you're looking for more accuracy capability, the 2 things that really helped me was lots of dry fire and following the practice of "aim small, miss small". Instead of shooting at a silouhette target, I started using 3/4" or 1" Avery label dots, or Shoot N Cee targets no larger than 1". For me, I've found if I shoot at larger than 1" targets, my groups open up proportionaly to the size of my target up to about a 3.5" spread. I'd stick 5 or so dots on a standard Q type target. My groups went from roughly what you're currently shooting, to an average of just under 2" and a best of 1" for 5 rnds at 15 yards. I've found this also holds for 10 rnd strings, I've never tried 15 rnd strings. |

Get the sighting fundamentals down, see what happens to the sights when you pull the trigger. Depending on your dominance, you may have a small jerk or flinch, causing it to go left. It seems like when your going fast, from what your saying, sounds like you have a decent pull, but that shouldnt change from slow to fast. When I go to the range, I start off slow. Make sure I knock off all the rust so to speak, then I can speed up my drills and shooting going forth, and the last mag I shoot I shoot out my carry ammo (cycle and rotate ammo) and its rapid fire. The group does open up, but I have done this first and its a lot larger group. OP, right or left handed? |
