Hey CGNers. As you can see i am pulling to the left on my groups (granted it was my first time shooting this gun. BTW 10m distance)

Any tips I could try to straighten out my groups?

INFO - squeezing trigger. Tip of finger on trigger.

Thanks

 
Benchrest the gun at 10 and confirm that the sights are on.
If they are, you're on the right track with the trigger.
I had to train past the 'low left' syndrome.
 
Very hard to tell from the video but looking good. Double check the sights, looks like you had to adjust your grip a couple times. Try doing two things, slightly more finger on the trigger with back tension and edge your support hand a little higher up on the frame, this helps offset any torque.
 
^^^^this....sounds like solid advise....you're not looking horrible by any means...and first time out!!!...slide a few more mags through it before changing anything fundamental....jmho
 
Nothing wrong with that, good start, just need practice... I like the CZ75 platform but could shoot better with the Sig 226 so I dropped it.
 
That was excellent shooting for first time shots with a new pistol!

There was no clear view of this in your video but how do you position your left wrist/hand to stabilize?
 
OP,
You are either a perfectionist, looking for compliments or both! LOL!
First time? 10M? Fairly rapid cadence of fire? That is a nice grouping! Of course, the trigger on the SP-01 really helps!
Can't really see your trigger finger but maybe work on visualizing the trigger going straight back rather than pushing it ( shots to the left) or pulling it ( shots to the right) for a rt. hander.
If you didn't change a thing, you already outshoot more than 80% of people out there!
 
I love my CZ, excellent choice. One thing to consider and I can't see from the video is whether you are releasing the trigger each time, or holding it to the reset point? If you release your finger you may have a tendency to 'jerk' the trigger, even a subtle movement can change your aim. Having said that, pretty good shooting first time out, I think you have it down pretty good.
 
Thank you sooo much everyone for the compliments...Just to make things clear its not my first time shooting a pistol. Its my first time shooting THIS pistol. I read all the comments and I will take it into consideration. I shall get better video next time of the left side and trigger finger.

and im not fishing for compliments hehe...

The range is RANGE Burlington
 
Nice choice for a gun, although I may be slightly biased...
So, first off, bring the target closer. Work on groups, put some 2 inch circles on a piece of paper, bring it in to 3 yds and start there, if you can't keep them in the circles, bring it to 2. Once you can, start pushing it out. A great target for this is the Dot Torture target on pistol-training.com So how to avoid going left? Watch your front sight more, 100% of your vision should be on the front sight, the target should be blurry, the rear sight likely as well (depends on eyes). As for you trigger finger, ignore that useless target that talks about your finger and where it is on the target, find where it's comfortable for you and you can press the trigger without disturbing the sights, that's it, tip, full knuckle deep, doesn't matter, what gives YOU the most control. Lastly, your grip, you do need to work on that, that you are opening it up after each shot and re-adjusting means you don't have the left hand on there right, nor are you squeezing together with enough force. These are all little things, that over time you will hopefully master, practice, practice, practice dude, and you'll get there.
 
Grip needs to tighten up a lot. You are adjusting your fingers after firing, which means your left hand isn't doing anything but clenching a little just as you fire in anticipation of recoil.
Grip as hard as you can with both hands without inducing a tremor, hold the sights on the target and manipulate the trigger straight back without moving the sights (dry fire will show you this). Take up the slack in the trigger and hold against the sear as you refine your sight picture and alignment. Once you have the gun mounted in alignment with the place you want to hit, just hold it there and pull the trigger decisively straight through the sear wall. Building pressure gradually to a surprise break will only lead to pulled shots.

Next time you see me at Burlington just ask and I'll show you how this all works.

I bet people would never think to bring a target in that close at the range and look so 'different' to everyone else. Great tips and advice!
