That is one of the best offers you'll ever get!! We took a Personal Protection in the Home course Charles & TraCoun taught a year or so ago and it was worth the drive down! The course content was great, but the hands on instruction we got from them was the best!!Charles L. Cotton wrote:Where do you live?

I would like to shoot dead center. Usually when I aim, I aim dead center with the front sight on the center of the target but when I pull the trigger it goes way high left or most of them go low.

One piece of advice Charles taught that helped me was the concept of follow through. It was basically incorporating the practice of re-aquiring the site picture/target after each shot -> before the next shot was attempted. It was especially helpful when transitioning from one target to another; but it also helped me when using the same target repeatedly. I may have understated it, and if I did Charles, please do correct my interpretation.
The best thing that has been helping me train against flinching was using a laser with dry firing. Granted, I don't experience the sensation of recoil with dry firing, but it helped give me visual feedback on the movement I was causing by pushing the gun with trigger pulls. I've also read you can do the same thing by balancing a dime on the muzzle. Keep it balanced and you're not flinching!!
It also helped me to alternate shooting a .22 pistol with a bigger caliber as needed to retrain myself if I was getting off track again. I'm still learning and my groupings are inconsistent, but getting better as time passes!!
I sometimes wish we lived closer to Houston, if only to benefit from learning more from the all the great shooters we've met at the PSC club.
The next best thing would be to go to the annual TexasCHL Forum day that's hosted there. We went a couple of years ago and every session we participated in was very instructive and helpful!!
