Typically *all over the place* is a form of not looking at the sights clearly or combat shooting with your eyes closed. I'm assuming that you were joking with the above comment.

If you're not then it's time to go back to the fundamentals.

good graph, I'd seen it before, but, hadn't referred back to it...

Thanks for posting it..... I'll try and be more concious of what I'm doing next time shooting... I know I play around with the grip a lot....

I keep a copy of that in my game bag. When at the range if I notice someone have a problem I normally help them out. A lot of times giving them a copy of the chart.

I actually carry both copies. My dad is a southpaw. I can shoot with either hand almost equally, good and bad. I can even get my eyes to switch dominance just by blinking at times, drives me nuts when that happens. People watch me work on things and say I use which ever hand is closer. Being ambidextrous has it's advantages when I'm working on a car. :)

My eye doctor took my measurements and recommended a .75 reading glass for iron sights. This put the gun sights in focus and a little fuzzy target. Of course THE answer is a red dot.

Thanks for the correction charts, Bullseye. I have some from other sites that aren't nearly as clear. Now I can replace them with the de-e-eluxe Gun Talk charts!
* 2 Ruger Bearcat stainless, w/ EWK ejector housings & Wolff springs
* Ruger SP-101 .22LR, w/ Wolff springs
* 2 NAA Guardian .32ACP
* 3 Zastava M70 .32ACP
* S&W 15-22 Sport (.22LR AR)
* 2 Ruger SR22 .22LR pistols
