Actually, I suck I figured this would happen cus I'm a new shooter but still I'm kinda with myself.
I'm at the range today and I set up my target at 10 feet. And do pretty good. Manage to pretty much remove the X ring. There are a couple strays here and there, but no big deal. Just not concentrating on the front sight and some anticipation of recoil.
So I go out to 15 feet. And I do pretty well. Not as well as before, but still at least 85% of the shots are within the 8 or higher rings.
Put up a new target and bleh. I stink. I mean I stink. First shots are a low. Then the next string is to the right. Finally I concentrate real hard and get them in the middle. But then I suck it up even more. I was everwhere. And finally, the gun started shaking in my hand. Not a lot, but I couldn't line up the sights without effort. I felt tired
After the final string where I hit the middle twice (out of ten) I just went home.
So whats the deal? Is this just my inexperience? Obviously, I can hit the dang target at that range. Was that last bit just because I was tired? Just could not line up the sights at all
Edit - I'm shooting a 9mm HK P2000 v.2 with the LEM trigger.
