10 inch left, Grip tape?

[Icefire]

Well I'm having my first match next saturday at CTM, Mtl and the last 700 rounds I put downrange, I was about A zone sized, 8-10 inch left at 7-10m... miss 50% 25m targets...

I sometimes blink from the bang, put I always readjust my grip after each shot.

I bought some grit tape at Canadian Tire (1"x8' long) and put a strip on front/back of the grip, What a change!

I won't be able to pratice before the match. My grip is like Todd Jarret video about grip. one thumb on the frame toward target, other on the safety toward the target.

I shoot a CZ75b .40 135pf load with FO sights.

Any thing I should look at? Do you put grip tape only front/back?

Are you sure you are sighted in? Has anything changed or where you always shooting off to the left? Could your sights have moved/loosened? Are you touching the frame with your finger as you pull the trigger back, or are you trying to "sweet spot" your shots by yanking on the trigger when you have a sight picture that you like?

All of these things could impact on where you are shooting. You may indeed be milking the grip (clenching) at the moment of firing in the subconscious desire to try and control the gun as it recoils. This would also cause the bullets to hit to the left and down at about 7:00 oclock. Grip tape will certainly help you weld the gun to the hand so you can ride out the recoil pulse more consistantly, so by all means put some on the grips if you can get it to stick.

take your time, and concentrate on the front sight
makes a difference- learn accuracy, then speed up as you get better- try and be smooth on the trigger- its a longer pull than a 1911, but not heavy
I shoot a CZ in 40 S&W, just put finger groove grips on it

Try 10 yards and getting all A's. Then try 15y all A's, and if you notice you are hitting left in groups, than adjust your sights.
Don't grip the gun in a death grip, (ie: not so much that your hands begin to shake)
I sometimes grip the gun too harsh, and get ####ty hits as a result.

the gun is perfectly sighted, from a rest, I shoot 2in group (mags base on a sandbad).

I squeezed the trigger, and don't slap it. I don't flinch (tested with snap cap in mag)

I don't grip the gun that hard.. I try to use the weak hand to apply more pressure than the right one.

I might do like in golf, look at the target a fraction of sec. before the bang, I'm not sure...

Shooting at a single target, it's on the target, not grouped. If I shoot multiple target, the first might be okay, but the others are C/D left.


I guess trying to follow the front sight, keeping same grip/grip pressure and take my time..

Sounds like trigger control to me.

Also, concentrate on the front sight. If you can't see the corners of your front site you aren't focused enough on it - esp with fibre optic inserts.

Increase the grip pressure on your left hand, decrease pressure on the right. This may help "steer" those shots back where they belong.

Some things to try...Good shooting.
