Buddy of mine sent me the actual file that is in this link. I thought this would be helpful and thought I'd pass it on.

oh boy.

oh boy.

Yep. This should be similar to the grip thread.

I'll go ahead and post my thoughts (by reposting my original grip thread) and then I'll let it go at that. I promise I'll be quiet. You guys feel free to criticize me, I'll still love all of you

Here goes:

EDIT: Sadly, re-reading through that old thread, Paul Gomez made several appearances. I do really regret I never trained with him--what an awesome guy! RIP.

It might work for Bullseye, I don't know I have never competed in bullseye.
I'm no expert,and I'm sure some will be along shortly.
The idea is to keep your sights aligned and on target while you are pressing the trigger. If you master that you will hit what you are aiming at.

It's not bad as a passive training aid. For someone who hasn't yet gotten to training, or has no interest in it, it can be somewhat useful in giving you an idea as to what your problem may be. It's not always correct, but it's worth the price you'll pay for it.

I felt that my left pinky toe was causing my POI to consistently fall slightly low, so I cut it off.

It was either that or aim for center of mass rather than the 6 oclock hold, which I had been using.

I've since adopted a COM POA for that particular handgun, but honestly, I don't really miss the toe that much.

Hope this helps.

Not exactly a dupe. Just a similar theme. We can expect some of the same players to comment here.

The grip thread doesn't say the same thing. Hemingway's old thread sort of does. They meant that this will devolve the way the grip thread did. You didn't do anything wrong. This target has been brought up a lot so people are quick to dogpile. You don't learn unless you get out and post things. The idea of passing on potentially useful info to the group is a good one so I appreciate the action even though in this case the info itself is of marginal usefulness.

That's better than having to wear socks with your sandals the rest of your life.

I'm laughing at this, at work, and I'm not sure why. Probably because I think socks with sandals is stewpid.
