Tightening up my groups
So, I got to go shooting the other day. In NYC, no less. I found out that there is a firing range under a building. It’s not the most advanced range, but you don’t need motorized target movers to shoot a gun. Anyway, I needed to get some practice in, so I went and put a box down range. Here are the results, with some editing to show where I hit.
The group is about 5.8 centimeters wide at about 25 feet, fired from a Glock 22. Six rounds fired at a medium pace (I don’t have a timer. Money is tight). Apparently, I’m squeezing my finger tips while pulling the trigger. You should have seen my first group on another one of these targets. I was squeezing way too much with my strong hand.Right before that, I shot a bad-guy target and around 25 feet. 2 magazines of 6 rounds, fired in 2-round groups, probably within a 1-2 seconds (again, no timer). Point of aim was the non-gun hand. Here is the target and a closeup of the target area.
Looks like the I need to work on my grip.
