Target

[whoowhoop]

Hi,

Hope this is in the right section.

A few years ago I downloaded a copy of a chart which showed the reasons for consistent missing on a target.

ie grouping at 4 o clock caused by snatching trigger ?

I think it was from an old USMC manual.

Unfortunately I gave it to someone who lost it.

I have tried googling but no success - it was a chance find anyway.

Have any of you come across something similar?

 

Many thanks - great site and very informative postings, by the way.

You mean this one?

I believe this relates to classic prone shooting, as in with a sling

Experience suggest yanking the trigger usually produces a 5 o'clock shot and "putting your shoulder into it" produces an 11 o'clock shot. Not that I've ever done it..

I know I have a copy of such a chart somewhere given to me while taking the DMQ level 1 at Thetford Forest. It is very useful and easy to understand. I did a quick search on the net and found this link which you may find useful.

I knew this was the place to ask!

Chris, that looks like the one I remember. Spot on!

Deerman - I thought I gave up jerking when I was a teenager, but obviously I was wrong!

 

Many thanks

This chart was also what we used for pistol shooters, hence the "breaking the wrist" entry.

 

Just an FYI...
