Brand New Handgun Owner
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 6:10 pm
I'm new the the board and a new handgun owner. I recently took the CHL class and now I want to improve my shooting. I would love some tips on improving.
I have a Glock 26 Gen 4 and I've been going to the range. I set the target about 10 feet and start at close retention with my eyes looking away from the target. When I'm ready, I grip the pistol with both hands and get a sight picture and fire. I will repeat this over and over starting at close retention. Right now, everything is slow. I'm shooting with both eyes open and my eyes get crossed sometimes. When this happens, I blink my weak eye and things look clearer.
I want to improve my sight picture, speed and accuracy at 10 feet then gradually move the target to 15 yards. My concern is, with my experience, I feel I'm too slow and would not be effective at self-defense. My accuracy looks okay but only because I'm going slow. I would love to hear some advice.
