Do you use a center hold or six o'clock on your round targets? I've been using six o'clock, on the basis that it was more precise and traditional for BE shooting (seems like I read that somewhere), but I'm suspicious that it is encouraging me to jerk the trigger when I try to catch the moment that the sight post touches the bottom of the bullseye. My targets look mostly non-Gaussian, so I'm pretty sure I'm scattering the shots AWAY from the point of aim with crappy technique.
My ability to hold steadily is barely good enough to keep the front sight over the black rings (maybe not even that 100%), so I'm thinking that if I switch to a center hold and just try to accept that I'm *somewhere* in the black, I'll get fewer 4s and 5s, replaced by mostly 7s. It's not like I get many 10s anyway.
I probably need to work on my stance, since I've noticed that I'm not consistent in that area: sometimes leaning forward slightly, sometimes more upright. I can probably tone down some swaying by figuring that out, but I'm pretty twitchy, so I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to hold impressively steadily. It may be better to try to work around that. No doubt my grip also needs work. And I've been blowing off dry-fire practice for a few months, which can't help...
Shooting the silhouette match with my big MkII, I adjusted my sights for a low-center hold on the critters and *maybe* didn't yank them around as badly.
Center hold or six o'clock hold for Bullseye?
