For any new shooters who may have questions about why they can't hit the bull. Trigger control and grip means a lot.

That is a very good chart I ran accross before. Any specifics on how to correct some of the actions?

Practice practice and more practice. Keeping a consistant grip is a big help. Some people tend to squeeze the grip tighter as they squeeze the trigger. The grip should be constant.

 

The trigger when squeezed, should break without the shooter knowing it. If you know it will break you tend to try and compensate for the recoil before the round fires.

 

Practice practice and more practice. Slow and steady fire control, not rapid fire.

We should add the NJGF Logo into the middle or around the outsides like the regular targets that were made.

 

Figure the more exposure the better, and I will definitely be taking some of these along with my NJGF Targets to work on my shooting.

noted.

Dry fire your gun 500 times per week in a mirror. Look at the gun motion, see it you are pulling or pushing with your trigger finger. See if the nose of the gun is rising as you pull.

Do dry fire your gun. It will help your muscle memory. Also shoot alot. Thats the only thing that will get the "flinch" out. I have heard that dry firing a gun too much will damage it. I have heard just the opposite too. Buy some snap caps, they are cheap insurance.

DONT dry fire your Rimfire guns. =P Centerfire guns, yes. Rimfire 22's, DONT. 8-)

Great chart! I keep one just like it taped to the inside of my pistol box.

It really helps when I'm at the range.

It is a very helpful chart. I hope some members benefit from it.

Just printed mine to bring to the range! Thanks!

AWESOME!!!

 

Seems I have to little trigger finger....at least with my 1911....at 25 yds...

 

BTW what size do you think is a good format for this target say at 7 yards?

 

11X17??

At 7 yards I have been using 8 1/2 x 11. It's not a bad size, but not a great size compared to some of the large and bright targets you can buy. I usually don't shoot at the correction chart, it's usually tapped to the inside of the stall wall for reference.
