Shifting shots (10 dot drills)

[264Charlie]

In general I don't seem to have issues with vertical stringing but left to right when shooting five or ten dot drills. My targets tend to look something like this.




Is this trigger work, body positioning, Natural point of aim...? I am thinking about taking video when I shoot so I can see what's going on?

I am not sure, but it would seem logical that it would be trigger control....I get that problem and also some vertical stringing as well...I am rushing to be the timmer and usually finishing with about 20 sec's left, so I have plent of time left, just need to slow down, concentrate and Make the Shot and Dont Fuck Up

I don't have an educated answer but I know my targets looks very similar usually with the exception of the misses being at more of a 11 or 1 o'clock rather then your 3. If I know it wasn't the gun throwing a flier then I usually blame my trigger control or a different hold on the rifle. I think a lot of it is mental. We tend to over think some shots resulting in us overlooking the fundamentals.

I find most of the time when I'm doing dot drills, pool balls and the like, if I start favoring left or right, its my NPA. I get on the rifle a little tighter for speed and instead of moving everything, I just push the rifle around. That's what I attribute it to at least. After I miss, I slow down, relax, let the rifle sit on target, and fire. Most of the time it settles back in the dot.

Ryan, I think you are right...take your time, settle into your natural position on the rifle and ease that trigger straight back....Bamm, center hit....My problem is, I let the time factor fuck with me and rush....Plus I am unsteady in anyother position except prone....something to work on....

Body position/NPA

You're initially lined up on the first dot and as you move across, you get more and more out of position, until you're forced to make the physical correction. You don't physically correct for each shot, since you're in a hurry.
