Well let me start by saying my centerfire and 45 scores are just plain poor shooting ball ammo.
I am using a pre-series Colt Gold Cup national match, I believe the trigger is part of my issue because it regularily breaks around 4 1/2 to 5 pounds its sort of a rolling trigger break also. It also seems like every time I do pull the trigger and go back to the next shot like the trigger has reset itself in a different pull weight. My dry fire practice is going well, I can pull the trigger without disturbing the sights and I can do it repeatedly. My .22 scores are great I am shooting high master in .22 repeatedly shooting about 95 in every part of the match.
I am having a really hard time determining what I am doing or not doing that is causing my shots to low and to the left usually in the 7 to 8 position, I have my pinky relaxed and I am giving it positive pressure to the rear when I pull the trigger.
Things I know:
1. I check my stance and NPA every time I approach the bench.
2. I relax and avoid locking any joints especially my knees
3. I get a good firm grip on the pistol, and I relax my pinky and thumb.
4. I use the pad of my index finger to positively pull the trigger to the rear.
5. recoil does seem to be an issue and I do not seem to know how to control it so it does not screw up my shot
Does anyone have any suggestions?
