The past few months, I've noticed when I shoot a classifier with a tuxedo in the center that covers up everything but the A-zone (eg. 99-48 Tight Squeeze), there is a tendency to throw a shot or two well right (never left)...as I'm transitioning from left to right. I think I'm probably reinforcing this during dryfire, going fast and not being super-critical on sight alignment. Now the question becomes...am I doing it on the first shot as I'm coming in...the second shot as I'm going out...or sometimes both?
What's the phone number of this shot place I'm supposed to call?
I do think there's real benefit in the comment about training your eyes to go to a spot. I've found that cleans me up quite a bit on steel targets. And/or, making sure to add some obstructed targets to your dryfire (so you don't do like me and dryfire train to an unobstructed target level of precision...then carry it over to tuxedos in live fire).
Call the shot and you should know,. If you need and observer... I know a guy who can help with that.
Where the front sight lifts from on the target is where the bullet went. When the front sight lifts the bullet is out of the gun. So if I am shooting 2 shots on a target I need to see the front lift before I move the gun. From 1-10 yards calling shots is not that difficult and can be learned pretty quickly. The faster you go the more difficult it can be. 25 yards takes a long time to get down and sometimes still requires a little detective work for me.
