SO I stumbled on a site that was talkin about techniques, one on particular seemed using a pencil, here it is let me know what you think, also would this damaged the gun in any way.
"Shooting the pencil is an aid to training I have used to great effect with both experienced shooters and rookies. To do this you take a regular number 2 pencil with an eraser and "size" it to fit just barely loose in the barrel of the pistol you are practicing with. Of course this means you can only use this in a caliber larger than the pencil used. I have used this method with 9mm/38/357 .40 and .45 cal pistols effectively. First make sure that your pistol is empty and the chamber is clear. Then take your pencil and wrap a little masking tape around the pencil in two places one about an inch up from the eraser or a little more (so you don't get hung up on the chamber mouth) and another about an inch or so short of the end of the barrel until it fits well but is still loose in the barrel. Loose enough to fall out when tipped down, but enough so it doesn't wobble a lot. The pencil should protrude an inch or two out the end of the barrel when in contact with the breech face to be most effective.
Then take a sheet of paper and draw a number of small 1/8" or smaller circles or little silhouette targets or whatever you want to "aim" at. Tape the paper up on a wall with "cork board", dart board or something that you won't mind poking some little holes in. Then holding your pistol in your shooting hand pull back the hammer or appropriately charge it and tip up to allow the pencil to fall back against the breech. Then step forward until your are within an inch or two of the pencil touching the paper target. Sight in on the first "target" spot and carefully engage the target. The pencil will be shot out of the barrel the short distance to the paper target and put a mark on the paper. Charge the weapon again and tip it up to let your pencil fall back to the breech face and do it again. You will begin to create a group of pencil marks below the aiming point. Our goal was to get those groups smaller and smaller working toward the magical single small dot. Remember to sharpen your pencil periodically between strings as needed, if the pencil gets to short you may have to set up another. We could get a 30 minute session or two without having to sharpen, depending on the "target" backing. This assists in your "technical" training to help you in consistent sight alignment, trigger squeeze and follow-through."
