Equipment
Sights, setup and adjustment — always with the manufacturer's documentation in hand.
All articles
Adjust pistol sights only after you have established a repeatable group and confirmed how the sight mechanism on your specific pistol works. The goal is to move the group centre toward the intended point of impact, not to chase individual shots. Fire a sufficient group, determine its centre, make a measured adjustment according to the manufacturer's instructions, then confirm with another group.
If you repeatedly produce a reasonably tight group in the same wrong location, a sight adjustment may be appropriate. If shots are widely dispersed or the point of impact changes significantly between groups, investigate consistency first. Sights correct a repeatable offset. They cannot correct an inconsistent shooting process.
In preparation
These questions are queued for the Academy. They are published only once they pass the content and source checks.
- How much does ammunition affect group size?
- How does pistol balance affect the hold?
- Can light and weather move my point of impact?
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.
