Low-left pistol shots can have several causes. Learn how to separate trigger, grip, anticipation and sight issues before changing your sights.
A vertically elongated group means vertical variation dominates — but the target alone does not identify the cause. Here is how to narrow it down.
A horizontally elongated group makes grip, trigger interaction and natural point of aim worth investigating — but shape alone proves nothing.
Start with the group, not the worst shot. Locate, measure, describe, compare and only then form hypotheses about why.
Stop guessing from one target. Build a shooting history and let ShootMind look for the patterns that are difficult to see one session at a time.
Always follow firearm-safety rules, range regulations and the manufacturer's instructions. Safety takes precedence over training.
