10M 5 shots iron sights only

[GlockGirl]

Here's my two cards with 5 shots each at 10 meters.

H&N Excite Econ ll
.177
7.4gr

Iron sights only, no stock, no front foregrip. Using my two hands.

I haven't added up the score

Oops. Good choice of pellets.
Needs some zero adjusting .
Keep trying, you'll get there eventually.
Start from the rested gun; and maybe two-handed hold ?

 

[OldStock]

Don't put the targets on a bit of string next time.

Not bad for adjusting the sight without a bench rest lol. I did shoot two handed

 

[Byronic]

Are you Left Handed?
All your shots are towards the Left of the card.

 

[Ballist]

It's because you are wearing the wrong shoes....

Remember I haven't been shooting that long. And the target was on a steel sheet with magnets.

Yep

 

[Kola]

Do you not have your bench yet?

Would be great if you can shoot the same shots rested, and zero the sights.

Either way, you are shooting, I am not sure I can do better than that freehand, standing, open sights at 10m at the moment.

Also, I am sure the trigger pull on the CP2 is not set as good as it can be at the factory.

I do have my new bench rest but it's not assembled yet and the 10M competition is free hand I believe. I'm sure you can do much better than me.

 

[Byronic]

Yep

My best guess is that you are pulling the pistol off to the Left as you pull the trigger
Is this chart any help?
Bear in mind that you might need to reverse the directions.....

My suggestion for the bench is just to get sighted better.

Considering how long you have been shooting and how much, I think you are doing well.

It would be great if you could find someone to show you the proper basics with pistol and rifle, and then for you practise that.

Cracking pair off slippers btw

 

[OldStock]

I'm rubbish with a pistol, for me the trigger release is the killer.
Have you got the trigger set up for your feel? that to me is the first thing to concentrate on, perhaps keeping on target after the shot too.

Agree, most likely anticipating the shot combined with a heavyish and long trigger pull.
But am just guessing as well.

I do shake and tighten grip while pulling trigger. Also it moves to the right too when pull trigger as I'm not used to shooting without stock.

Thanks babes. Only been shooting 2-3 month's. I definitely need help zeroing my sights and scopes.

I don't think Kola meant it the way it sounded. He's saying use the bench rest to zero the sights as it takes you out the equation to a degree. That way you know the sights are aligned to the gun. Your job is to then get as close to that as you can.

 

[Kola]

Aaah!
Heavy trigger action will make it difficult to hold the pistol steady without pulling it off target.

If you are shooting two-handed then can you try not wrapping your thumb around the pistol?
Keep your thumb at the back of the gun?

Can you get the trigger improved by one of our experts?

I could not hit a damn thing a my local range while using CO2 powered BB pistols - the worst triggers I have ever used, on anything.

CP2s differ, but on mine I could adjust the two stage trigger to be really good, especially after I carefully polished the sear and mating hammer surface.

I had initially replied to @Kola by mistake.
