Re: Left handed shooter problems

ianmko wrote:Hi everyone!

When I was qualifying for my license, my instructor identified the shooting pattern in the target as symptomatic of lefties. I had a tight spread thanks to my grip, stance, etc., but my location was consistently just a few inches down and to the right. At three feet distance it isn't really noticeable, at 7 feet it is noticeable, and at 15 feet it could theoretically mean missing what I'm trying to hit, which is a big deal in a real life threat. So it's definitely something I am looking to improve. Any suggestions? I don't know if this has been asked before, I am fairly new here.

Thanks!

Maybe not a left vs right handed problem, except for where the rounds impact. I shoot right handed and consistently impact target low to the left. At a handgun class this weekend the instructor identified the cause as the entire hand squeezing at trigger pull instead of just the trigger finger. After consciously working on this my groups began to impact more center of target.
