I had a friend recently become interested in shooting and I had a chance to work with him today. I gave him some basic instruction on stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger press etc...I had him start at 3 yards on a b8. His shots were consistently 6" high when he was shooting but when I shot the gun it shot out the x ring(duh it's 3 yards).
I'm no instructor nor a diagnostician. What would cause hits that high at such close range, so that next time I work with him I can correct the issue? His kids shot also and didn't have the issue at all, so it's definitely his input that is causing it but I'm not familiar with what it would be or the solution.
He is a strong physical fitness buff with a background in wrestling and my height (6' give or take), if any of that matters. I explained sight alignment and he seemed to have grasped the basic concept. I even tried my gun and the same issue occurred.
