Top 3 Reasons Why You Are Shooting Low and to the Left

Workman Firearms

This video provides an informative guide on the top three common reasons why shooters might find their shots consistently landing low and to the left of the target. Aidan demonstrates using a Glock 45, ensuring to clear the firearm before proceeding. The three reasons are explained as follows:

1. **Gripping Down at the Last Second:** Right before breaking the shot, some shooters grip down on the firearm too hard. This sudden squeeze yanks the firearm low and to the left. To mitigate this, the host advises loosening the grip slightly and working on anticipation, focusing on sight alignment, sight picture, and a slow, steady press without gripping hard at the last second.

2. **Over Gripping the Firearm:** This issue often occurs when the proper way to hold a firearm feels uncomfortable, especially for those with bigger hands shooting subcompact or compact firearms. The correct grip placement involves having the two knuckles on either side of the grip, with the flat portion between the knuckles facing the target. Over gripping means having the knuckles, not the flat portion, facing the target. The host shows videos demonstrating both the correct and incorrect grip placements.

3. **Using Too Much Finger on the Trigger:** Placing more than just the meaty portion of the index finger on the trigger can cause shots to go low and to the left. The host emphasizes that only the meaty part of the index finger should be on the trigger, avoiding any joints or additional finger placement.

The video is clear and concise, offering practical advice and visual demonstrations to help shooters understand and correct common mistakes in their shooting technique. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their accuracy and consistency on the range.
