You two are great, Dave and Old School. I printed some from here and went to Dave's for more. Beyond, I had been shooting at 15 and 25 yards. Actually, I wasn't doing so bad, hitting the red (same size) about half the time, but... I can't be sure what problems I was having and it would be difficult to improve that way. So the advice is as good as gold too, I'll be starting at 5 yards next time, and checking that list at least twice.

I hope to get out to the range today or tomorrow. Saddly, I think the pretty pictures I printed are going to be defaced. Saddly might be a little strong, actually. Ha!

Since it has come up, yes Dave allows people to more or less distribute his targets.

I believe his (almost) exact wording was "That's why I have my business card on them."

But to be nice, make sure to give him credit, anyway.

Shots that go the the left are caused by "to little trigger finger"
Does that mean that I have the trigger to close to the end of my finger?

Yes. From everything I've seen/heard/read/been told, use the middle of the pad of your finger.

Try shooting very, VERY slowly. I mean 10 seconds per shot for one mag. Analyze the HELL out of each shot mentally.

Helpful, but no one ever explains what the various sections mean...

It's like a big Mason's secret or something.
