Andrew from Tennessee

Hello everyone! My name is Andrew. I bought a XD 9 a few months ago and really like it. I've only shot it two days, maybe 300 rounds total. I'm having a bit of trouble aiming the gun and getting a good grouping. That's primarilly why I'm here. If anyone has any tips for aiming a XD 9 I'd really appreciate it!

I've heard several different things about aiming. My carry permit instructor told me center dot on target is what I want, but the manual that came with the gun has an illistration that's different. I'm not doing something right... any tips?

Thanks,

Andrew

Welcome. Unless it involves shooting birds out of the sky, I can't help you much on the shooting. I need a lot of work myself. Good luck though.

Hey Andrew, it could be a few things wrong or it could be the gun. Welcome to the forum I just got here myself, but Im not a bad shot. I did a lot of IPSC USPSA and IDPA shooting here. I happen to be in a state with a lot of Grand Masters, Robie Leatham, Brian Enos, Angus Hobdell and many more. PM me if you want.
