Diagnostic Target — group analysis
Five separate aiming points and a fault chart. No ballistic data and no fixed distance: this sheet is about how you are shooting, not what you are shooting.
How to use it
- Print at 100%. Distance does not matter — pick one you can group at.
- Fire five rounds per bullseye without touching the sights between groups.
- Read the group, not the shots. A tight group in the wrong place is a sight problem.
- A loose group anywhere is technique — use the chart to name the fault.
Fault chart
| Group lands | Most likely cause | What to work on |
|---|---|---|
| High left | Tightening grip / heeling | Relax support hand, follow through |
| High right | Anticipating recoil | Dry fire, ball-and-dummy drill |
| Low left | Jerking the trigger | Slow the press, break the shot by surprise |
| Low right | Trigger finger too deep | Use the pad, not the first joint |
| Low centre | Flinching / pushing | Ball-and-dummy, then live fire |
| Scattered | Inconsistent grip or sight picture | Rebuild grip, confirm front sight focus |
