I've measured a bunch of center to center without figuring that out!

From small gun to big. Two scored attempts each gun, but thoroughly warmed up.

Glock 31 with Trijicon HD orange sights 48 pts with 2 X. Group size 2 7/8"

Pistol used: Walther P99c AS 9mm
Ammo: 124 grain Montana Gold JHP over N320 handloads
I made a total of 10 attempts at this.
Best was 45-1X, 3.5 inches. Worst was, well, bad. They're all on the index card in the image of the best run:
As far as things I noticed go, I'm still having some difficulty with driving the dot @ 25 yards leading to improper vertical sight alignment. (I'm assuming that's what happened on the one I noted as "way high" where most of the shots were in the 7 and 8 zone right at the top edge of the paper.) I also notice that my best slow fire attempts at shooting groups seem to come when I very carefully control my breathing and press the trigger on the exhale. I'm not sure if that means anything in particular, but it's what I noticed.

HK VP9, stock, 147 gr minor reloads
First group of 10 shots, shot cold.
Group size: N/A (not all shots on paper)
Score: 55-0X, two handed unsupported.
Note: I know the drill is 5 shots, but I 'always' do this drill w 10 rounds, once I started in 2013, so I wanted to keep it going for consistency.

Haven't been able to shoot recently since I'm out of town, but I did some group shooting before I left in mid-August.
Target used: IDPA
Gen4 G34, Freedom 115gr
Five attempts
1.875" group
Pistol & ammo: Custom 1911 .45, handloads 230 Zero with 3.6 Clays. I think this is a minor load.
This was probably about the 5th attempt, first with this gun/ammo combination. I probably made about 20 attempts total. I will record the rest in my journal.
Total points: 48 2x
Group size: 1.90".
Anything I noticed: custom pistols are accurate.
Other groups:
Old Gen 3 G-17 Fed factory 147: 47 1x 2.50".
New Gen 3 G-17 147 Bayou Titegroup: 45 0x 2.65". This group was at the bottom of the black because I floated the target on top of the sights and this pistol hits POA/POI.
New Gen 3 G-17 147 Fed factory: 48 2x. 2.75".
Gen 4 G-17 147 Fed factory: 46 1x 3.05".
old Gen 2 G-17 147 Bayou Titegroup: 48 0x 4.6".
These are the best groups I fired. I had several that were from 4 " to 5 or 6 inches. If they were bigger than I liked, I didn't measure them. Nothing was bigger than about 6 inches.
Nice. Pretty mentally fatiguing isn't it?Pistol & ammo: Custom 1911 .45, handloads 230 Zero with 3.6 Clays. I think this is a minor load.

Thanks. Shooting groups is hard work.
Glock 22 G4/ TLR1 w/ factory night sights.
Winchester Ranger FMJ 180gr.
Best Group: 32pts., 3-1/2"
I struggle at 25yds, don't know if it's my eyes, my sights, or what but I struggle. I intended to shoot this drill 8 times and see if I improved or degraded. My first 2 attempts result in scores in the low 20s, on my third string I noticed that my eyes were kind of like an automatically focusing camera that can't decide what to focus on. My eyes would hard focus on the target then front sight, and back and forth. I then realized my fifth string that focusing on my front sight worked as I had a 44pts group with an X! I continued and shot another 44pts group on my seventh string. On my last string I shot the pictured group, circled holes. 32pts measuring 3-1/2". I had forgotten my tape measure so I used some paster tape, marked it and measured it when I got home. That one flyer off the paper is disappointing but the group was my best so I'll take it!
