Re: Nervous LTC test

Definitely take your time during the test (...but don't go over time for each engagement..). I'd suggest having someone set a 2 second timer, & practice getting off your first shot (dry firing) within that 2 seconds, & practice until you can get it under 2 seconds without moving the sights off your point of aim.

Later engagements, especially the 5-round engagement in 10 seconds, will seem like an eternity. Most people I've trained will have about 5-6 seconds remaining, & then realize they could have acquired a little more deliberate sight picture for those shots (and especially when you have 15-seconds for 5 shots at the 15yard line).

Regarding your low-left grouping, I'd offer up looking at your grip. A low-left grouping (for a right handed shooter) can usually be corrected by NOT squeezing with your pinky finger (or, if it's a sub-compact, whichever finger is lowest on the front strap /front of the grip). When we squeeze with the pinky finger, it infers a downward & inward force on to the gun. (For a lefty, it would group low-right).

As Rob777 said, without watching you shoot it's a bit difficult to say with certainty. Just know that it's not that difficult, as long as you're safe. Based on the target you posted, you'll likely have met the standard before leaving the 7 yard line, & everything from the 15-yard line will just be extra points!
