Ok,
Took my Xd-9 ported to the range again. Shooting 115 fmj winchester ammo.
I read a couple online techniques for shooting. No limp wristing and I'm squeezing the trigger evenly using the first pad or first joint of the index finger. etc etc
I consistently hit like crud. Always to the right and always a little low. I started aiming my POA on the target insted of right below it like the xd manual says and It hits pretty even now so that's fixed but..... I have to concentrate really hard to hit pretty straigt on. If i do not take my time and relax i will hit to the right. Now, all that makes sense but i can not take 10 seconds to shoot if an intruder enters the house. I'm just curious if this is bad technique or does the pistol also aim to the right. I mean i have to really concentrate to hit straight and i can not honestly tell you what it is i'm doing to make the difference.
I know this is no 22 but i can shoot my 22 six shooter and plink cans at 25 yards easy.
Any technique advice for a 9mm newbie?
Thanks,
