For those of you who might wonder how we sight our pistols in serious
competition, I can show you how I teach and sight mine. Now you can use
the 6:00 hold also and it does work for some, but I find the center hold a lot
more relaxing . As long as the front sight is in the black area, apply pressure
on the trigger until the shot breaks. Using this method you will get lots of 10's
and a few X's with only a couple 9's. Sometime you get lucky and all will be in
the 10 ring. With a 6:00 hold it is a lot more likely to throw a 8. You try to
make it too presice. With my method the rear sight will be blurry as will the
target. Don't worry the 10 ring is in the center of the blurr. Just keep the front
sight clear. Only look at the front sight. As long as the front sight is in the fuzzy
black apply pressure on the trigger. The worst you will get is a 9. You eye will
naturally seek out the center of the fuzzy black and that's where the X ring is.
I've been shooting in National competition for over 25 years and this is how I
do it.
