Ok, I understand all the other stuff.. but drooping head? Is that referring to you physically lowering your head down to the sights, rather than bringing the gun up to eye level to aim? I think that's what it means, but I want to make sure. My groups have gone to pooh past about 15 ft for some reason. Maybe they never were that great past there. I tend to shoot within 15 ft generally because that's where I'd be more likely to use the gun at. Think a trip to the range with lots of ammo is in order, because I need to fix this problem. CCW will make me have to shoot out to 25 feet, and I have to be able to qualify.

Could be, who knows?

Although, when I go with a buddy to shoot, and he's a righty, we can both use the same target, since our respective shots shots pull to the opposite sides! (bahaha!)

Oh, and uh... *prints off a few dozen targets while at work*

Thanks!

Yes.

I hear lefthanded bowlers have an advantage in that the left side of the lane is not as dented up as the right side from all the dropped balls and wear. So do all you lefties have the same advantage at the shooting range, less shots on the left side of the lane?!?!

D'oh!!!

I also have another design for it if you'd prefer (diff colors). I'm also working on other targets (when time allows). Check back to my targets site for updates and new target options.

Also, it seems there is a large need for the same correctional targets for lefties. Yes, you do sort of mirror things for lefties. But I'll create lefty targets for people who need them as well. Just be patient with me. This isn't my full-time job.

Glad people liked the targets. I do CAD for a living, so it was no big deal to convert the correction target into a bull's eye target. If anyone has other requests or ideas for targets, PM me.

PS: thanks for making it a sticky, OS. I feel honored. Thanks for everyone's kind words on the target, too. There will be more to come!

UPDATED: I updated my targets listing to include my first two target designs for LEFTIES (as "requested" by some of you). Follow my link above to download a pdf version for your use! Print as many as you want/need. Enjoy!!

Awesome designs! Thanks for sharing!!

Funny thing is, I printed off three different sets of targets, and only one lists if it's for lefties or righties.

I had to do a little look and compare when I went out.

They are quit handy, though... I just have to look at the marked one to tell them apart.

Thanks Dave.
