Went out for some much needed trigger time on a couple of handguns today. Weather was awesome. First time I have fired a live round since probably last August.

Fired a total of 400 rounds. Didn't start out so well. A lot of my shots were going about three inches left as I often tend to do. Decided to do a little experimenting. What I found was that if I slowed down, took my time, focused on the front sight, and squeezed the trigger everything was going left. If I totally ignored the sights, focused on and pointed at my target, and sped things up then all of my shots were tight and in the center where I was pointing. Isn't this the opposite of how things are supposed to go? Four hundred rounds gave me plenty of time to switch back and forth between "proper technique" and just pointing and burning rounds off. Never changed. The more I tried to do it right, I just kept shooting left. When I would just point and shoot everything was good.

I'm going to try my new technique (or lack thereof) next time there's an IDPA match and see what happens.
