I hope this is the right section to ask this question. I just got a new AR, and I'm not the best shot in the world anyway. I was getting my IBZ in at 50 yards, open sights, prone position (no gun vise, sandbag, or other support used). About 60% of my shots landed in a regular (circular) group at my point of aim, but the other 40% were to the left, giving the overall group an oblong sort of distribution. If I am correct, that means I'm probably using too much trigger finger (I'm right handed). I also know I've seen targets on forums before that address shooting fundamentals by having slices cut off that say "too much trigger finger" or "too little trigger finger" or "jerked trigger" depending on where you hit. Does anyone have that file? Any help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks. |

NPOA could be a major part of it. So could the trigger issue. Quickly getting NPOA is easy, once you learn to check it quickly. Get on target, close your eyes, relax, take a breath and open your eyes. Still on target? NPOA is good. Not on target? Adjust and recheck, and repeat as needed. Folks, the process takes just a few seconds, when done right, including an adjustment. Finger placement on the trigger is also a key item. Put the trigger at the joint, and you may be "dragging wood". That WILL cause flyers. Also, I recommend zeroing at 25 meters (82 feet). Set your sight for one click past 300 meters, then zero for POA=POI (assuming 62 gr bullets in an A2). |
