Fixing shooting to the right- Left Handed shooter
Hello Pistol-forum,
I've recently began to work on improving my shot. My group sizing is pretty large and needs improved but I have noticed that I'm consistently shooting to the right. What might I be doing wrong and how can I solve it?
Also can you recommend a few drills to improve my basic pistol shooting?
Thanks,
Bowman
Fixing shooting to the right- Left Handed shooter
Welcome.
I'm pretty new to shooting, and a lefty as well.
My whole training journal is about shooting low and right:

My thoughts after working on this for three or so years:
- Regular, effective, dry practice. Especially wall drills (focus on front sight, press through)
This thread is awesome:

- "The Test" Drill: 10 rounds in 10 seconds at 10 yards on an NRA B8 target. Shoot for score and record progress. Initial goal: all 10 in the Black.
- Experiment with grip sizes and trigger finger placement.
Hint: At a recent class, I was told my finger was too close to the frame. As a result, I was steering the pistol down and right. I opened up a gap as suggested by my Instructor, and my accuracy and groups improved.
- Seek out good instruction. An instructor I highly recommend is Tom Givens. His two-day Combative Pistol Class was what I really could have used in 2014, when I was starting to shoot.
- Start a Training Journal and track your progress.
Good luck!

I had one of those.
The Apex DCAEK was a vast improvement to the trigger.
