Why do shooters miss the bullseye? A lot of accuracy errors involve problems using the sights, starting with vision problems. If you can't see the sights well, you can't use them correctly! (Wear your glasses or contacts.) Sometimes shooters fail to move the gun fully into their sightline, forcing them to drop their head and look down to see the sights, which leads to eye fatigue. Keep the head fully upright, looking straight ahead, and move the gun INTO your sightline. It's important to focus on the TOP of the front sight post. But if the front sight has a really bright white or fiber optic dot, the shooter can focus on it too much, making their shots hit high. Focusing on the target rather than the front sight will make your hits "wander" around the target. If you don't remember seeing the front sight in the millisecond before the gun recoils, you probably weren't concentrating on it when you squeezed the trigger. Really focus on the sight at the moment the gun goes off. "Sprinting" your focus back and forth between the front sight and the target can cause you to release the shot somewhere in between, leading to inconsistent results. The shot group on the target usually tells the story of what the shooter is doing. Jeff "reads" an example for us.
