I still think I am aiming a tad bit low but overall I did see a decent improvement. I am using cheap bulk ammo though too, which I am told also makes a difference. |
Welcome to the Great Sport of Shooting and Learning.
I would highly suggest if you plan on taking the sport seriously is to do some Googling and reading. Don't Always do what the fella beside you is doing, he may be ignorant and doing it wrong.
Once you get the position, learn the sight picture and practice, practice, practice.
Competetion is 17 to 25 meters, so use that for reference.
I would NOT worry about how many Bulls eyes you are hitting but would be far more concerned about your GROUP. Once you are able to shoot a tight group then there are steps that can be taken to get the group centered. Get the group first. When I say that I say that with the hopes you have already aquiered a good sight picture, good trigger squeeze and good all around basics. Watch the tv shows on the outdoor channel and watch the experts. While at home, hold your gun, fondle it, make love to it and handle it as much as possible, get it to be a familiar feeling in your hands and not a strange feeling that you have to wrestle with. Another thing. NO MIND GAMES.
Good Luck and good shooting
