Hello all, I just came back from the range after shooting my 6" 586, and trying to zero with a new load I was trying out. (148gr BBWC with 2.5gr Clays - very clean by the way)
I zeroed the gun while resting the gun, and in single action (point of aim=point of impact @25m)and I got it right on, I mean it was perfect. Then I started to shoot in my unsupported stance still slow and deliberate, but in double action and my bullets were landing to the LEFT of the target.
Then at closer range (15 to 25 feet), while shooting from the holster at IPSC targets my rounds were consistently landing to the RIGHT on the target.
I have done this several times, and I expended several hundred rounds today, and the results were always the same. I paid very much attention to my grip and trigger control but always had the same results. To the point that in the different positions I am aiming off appropriately and getting better results. My concentration level was very good today, and the load is very mild, so I don't think that flinching could be a factor.
Do you think it is a poor practice to aim off for different types of firing? Have any of you had similar experiences with revolvers? Or do I have some serious flaws with my trigger manipulation, or something else?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
