There seems to be one that " Always gets away."

My 14 yr. old grandson Trevor , shooting his great grand daddy's Colt fixed sight 38 Spec. revolver. Sometimes, try as we will , we often times end up with a " flyer".

I've ruined many perfect one shot groups by firing another shot !

 

[Ben]

Yes, we've all fired that last shot and wished we had not.

Trevor said on the last shot :
" I let the front sight sit too high in the rear notch, - - I should not have fired that shot ".

At least he knew what the problem was without me telling him.

Sometimes one needs to stop after the first shot, if it is in the X ring.

Calling your shots is a learned skill.

Trevor should have said..."I need more practice...lets go back home and load some more ammo and come back and practice some more"

 

[Maven]

Those serve to keep us humble!

Few pursuits are as adept as the shooting sports at keeping us grounded and humble.

Either my first or last shot with a revolver in about every other group, usually always goes left and low.
So I end up With a good load. Showing 4 shots almost touching and one about 2 inches away at 5:00.
Ya think after years of trying to correct that, I would have figured it out. But I always get that jerky hard trigger pull, that flexed the wrist, in there some where.
Well at least it is better then I started shooting revolver. My groups used to look like I used a shot gun and buck shot.
