I've fired about 9,000rds in three pistols. I'm no stranger to shooting.
I find that about 200rds in a shooting session, I start to shoot real sloppy. Dipping and heeling the pistol, clenching, etc.
I know not to do that. I stop shooting and then take a breath, then continue shooting at steel plates 15-20 yards away. Within 5 rounds it happens again!!
It's like my brain is engaging in an automatic response from the fatigue and recoil after shooting for a while and there's nothing I can do about it.
I used to shoot upwards of 300rds at a time but it got annoying and aggravating missing shots near the end of the session so I started bringing 200rds instead.
What am I doing wrong here? I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I got the stance down. I rotate my shooting hands' wrist forward and my support hands' wrist backward for a stable firing platform. I squeeze the trigger and am careful not to move the muscles too much in my hands.
Yet still, after a few boxes of ammo, it's like some autonomous bodily function takes over and my rounds go all over the place.
I assume this is normal? Can it be further managed?
