| BigJake- Thanks for your input just after posting this I found a website but forgot to bookmark it before I had to go do some stuff around. When I came back it looks like a power failure or something...anyways, I lost that site. It was a great site and talk about starting close and not moving out until you can hit like20 rounds on this target they describe as, a vertical line on a sheet of paper. Anyways if I find it again I will post it.
Currently I have 10 rounds of Federal FMJ .45 230gr. I believe. Just one mags worth that I saved from my first outting to the range. I am dont want to spend a lot of money on ammunition until I can confidently shoot and hit my target where I want to, once I can do that, I will be using either one of the popular JHP or possibly an Expanding FMJ.But for now I will be using FMJ, I will probably try and pick up a bulk of it at the next gun show, :uzi: any suggestions on what to look for ?
NorCalAshnjikov- Thanks for the links I will definatley check them out.
Ctwo-I was doing the same thing, and with the assistance of the rangemaster at the range we corrected it, he shot 1 round to check the sights, and then suggesated two options that helped me drastically,
1. I was anticipating the recoil and pulling to the left. As Bigjake said "Let the detonation of the bullet almost be a suprise" .
2. Also having to do with "Let the detonation of the bullet almost be a suprise"
I was using to much finger on the trigger, and by the time the weapon fired I was pushing the gun down and left due to the natural roll of the hand... The suggestion made was to use the near tip of the finger and slow press the trigger and "Let the detonation of the bullet almost be a suprise" but then dont reset you finger...ease the trigger out until you feel it click over, then relax and settle your sights again, and start the whole process over. I went form hitting the outter ring of the target and all over the rest of the paper to hitting consistent blacks in about 30 rounds. I hope that helps. |
