I've had a lengthy conversation with him about a performance based mindset as opposed to an outcome based mindset. I want him to focus on what he's doing with the weapon each and every single presentation and understand that if he does that, he hits will come.
Target is a TQ-15 silhouette. I've glued a standard 3X5 card in the center to act as an aiming point for him. He's barely able to keep rounds on that card at 3 yards. When pushed out to the 7 yard line, most shots are left side of the 5 ring and scattered. Out to 15 yards, impacts are generally in the 4 ring, lower left corner and when pushed out to 25 yards, 2 ring impacts appear lower left and off silhouette. He also starts assassinating my target stands at that distance with rounds off target completely. So, it's pretty consistent.
We did the exercise of manipulating his trigger for him, while he aligned the weapon and that resulted in hits on a steel, 2/3 IPSC target from 15 yards, consistently and grouped fairly well. Him on his own, hits went down drastically. Honestly, it's been 2 frustrating days out on the range.
