this was my first time out shooting actual targets to test my accuracy, this was from 20-25 feet away, left is p7m8, right is my usp .45. how do you guys think i did? i counted the holes, seems like there were a few misses each maybe. i did alot better with my colt trooper .357. anyways i was just curious what my hk buddies would think

Not bad. You should be able to tighten up those groups to a few inches at that distance.

im not sure why, but i started off on the tight groups dead center, then after a few shots, i would start to bounce a round... but both i shot bitchen groups right at first. any tips on how to stay put?

Your targets look good. When you miss L-R it's your grip. When you miss Up and Down it's your breathing.

Nice ! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

More practice will definitely tighten up your groups. You have a good starting point and some good tips above. Aim small, hit small!

Stop looking at the target. The second I saw the low vertical track, I could see that you are trying to watch the rounds impact. Being you can't, you develop a pre ignition flinch. It is typical that you are shooting good, and then start to try to see where the rounds are going. This is a mental game. Wait till you are done with a string of fire to check your work. Eventually, you will be able to check your work through your sights with good follow through.

Yes, not bad at all--- practice is the best of all instructors!!! :wink:

not bad for first time, that means you will get them tight with a few more trips!

At that distance, shooting slowly and deliberately, you can easily advance to shooting reliable 3-inch 5-shot groups with a bit of practice. In time, 2-inch and better.

Not bad, you will get better with practice as everyone is stating. Remember, breathe, exhale half way, hold your breath, take aim and trigger finger smoothly pull back. Let the pistol do the rest. Golden rules. Keep it up and you will have no issues with any pistol. Specially the P7. That group will be tighter than an ants ass.

cool thanks for the input, ill try and get some more shooting time, so far ive only been going to the desert when all my buddies decide to go blow up bottles.

The targets look about the same, which is interesting considering the differences in triggers. Get some professional training that discusses things like grip, stance, trigger squeeze, etc. and those groups will shrink to the size of baseballs.

what would be so interesting about it, just curious, id like to know more about my performance if thats possible to tell from only these 2

I think you did pretty well. You should be able to group them a little better with some more practice. shootingtargets7.com just keep on trying.
