I just got back from Turcotte, and shot about 250 rounds through my pistol mixed between steel and paper. Pistol is a Sig 226 with a warren rear and a trijicon front. Shooting in Isosceles with a thumbs forward grip.

Ok, so here is my problem. I am a lefty, and I am consistently shooting low and to the right. On a standard pistol bull, I totally disintegrate the lower right quadrant of the target. I cannot for the life of me figure out where my problem lies. Placing the dot on the center of the target and shooting both double action and single action. I don't feel like i've got too much pressure on either side of my grip, and I'm pretty sure i'm not slapping or jerking the trigger. Just a smooth press to the rear. Does anybody have any idea where I might be going wrong? I am grouping just fine, so whatever it is I am doing, I am doing it consistently. Thank you ahead of time.

Well, I'm not an expert. Maybe this can help. The right-hand version is helping me.
Lefty Target

I'm also a Lefty thanks for the target!

You're "milking" the trigger with your left index finger. It's very common for right -handed shooters to do just the opposite.

The grip in your left hand maybe too much. You will need to relax it just a bit and gently bring the triggger straight back without influencing the front end of the gun.

A few hours on the range and I could easily show you how to solve the problem.

Right on ^^^^^^^^^

Hmm alright, sounds good Cliff. Since the steel match was cancelled, I guess USPSA is next, so i'll try and make it out. Thank you.

save a bit of $ and get some snap caps. more than likely you just need a bit of practice with some trigger foreplay.

:bigtu:

Already do that..I probably run 20 dry fires to every live round I fire. And even taped myself to see if i was jerking or slapping and didn't appear to be, but we'll see.

I may go to Magnolia today. No too long b/c of the weather though. Just come out and let me see what you're doing.
