Both were shot at 15 yards.

The first is a Ruger .357 Magnum (not sure of the model).

The second is a 9mm XD. Why am I shooting to the right of center? Do I need to change the way I grip the gun?

I'm pretty new to pistol shooting (less than 400 rounds through my XD), so please don't flame me for posting my mediocre targets

nah, looks like you had a great day of fun and shooting

Good, job keep it up.

Looks like a Ruger GP 100. Those are NICE revolvers. Built like tanks.

Maybe not the prettiest girl at the dance, but nice none the less.

As far as your other target, perhaps someone can post the "Diagnostic" target? The target that identifies your "problem" by where your shots land.

Are you a righty or a lefty?

Your XD shotgroup (lower and right) looks just like mine. Are you a lefty?

 

[seawolfxix]

I'm right-handed.

watch your trigger pull.... dry fire, dry fire, dry fire use random load/unload on your wheel gun to help with anticipation/flinching.

Good day, thanks for the range report!!!

+1 on the "dry fire"

Be sure there isn't any ammo in the room when you do this. Or in the gun

Check the gun again. Empty? good.

Check it again. Still empty? Good.

Now rack the slide to cock the striker...then just steadily squeeze the trigger.

Put a dime on top of the slide and keep it there as you pull the trigger. Work on keeping the dime there.

I like that idea. Thanks for the tip.

This may help a bit with your aim Seawolf

I have one for left handers as well if anyone needs it.
