Last Sunday I finally got around to get my CCW certificate. I learned so much and had so many questions answered that I was wondering about. The guys at the Monticello gun club in MN were great. My friend let me use his XD40 4.5"
When we started to do live firing drills the range and the first 2 shots at 7 yards were great. But next 3 round mag was 5 inches low. Finally figured out that I was trying to fight the recoil and dipped down. He told me that it happens to a lot of people, and takes some range time and dry firing training to get rid of it. It was weird because when I was doing the draw and immediately shooting I was a lot closer to the middle. But as soon as I concentrate and take my time...5 inches low.
After everyone did their shooting tests I ended up getting to shoot a .22 target gun. The first shot I took I ended up dipping waaaaaaaaay low. Never shot a .22 before so didn't know what to expect in the recoil it had.
Hopefully more range time and discipline helps me get my mind right. 2nd time shooting, hopefully get alllllot more time in with the xdm40c that I'm pickin up tomorrow
