Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common causes of shooting low and left with a handgun?

Shooting low and left is often caused by anticipating recoil, pulling the trigger instead of pressing it, and improper grip pressure distribution. The instructor also highlights issues like the weapon not being aligned with the dominant eye and using the wrist to aim instead of the body.

How can I improve my handgun grip to prevent shooting low and left?

Ensure your dominant hand thumb is not behind your non-dominant thumb. The non-dominant hand should control the weapon, with the dominant hand providing support. The dominant hand should be high on the backstrap, supported by the non-dominant hand snug against it for optimal control.

What is the correct way to press the trigger to avoid accuracy issues?

Use the pad of your index finger, not the tip, and engage the trigger with a slow, steady pull straight back. Avoid slapping or jerking the trigger, which causes the firearm to dip. Tensing up before the trigger pull also contributes to the weapon dipping.

How does stance affect handgun accuracy?

An athletic stance with feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent, and a slight forward lean transfers weight to the toes, aiding in recoil management and stability. This stance provides a solid foundation and prevents the weapon from muscling you backward.
