Interesting target

My imagination is not up to it...dreaming up a worse possible target to shoot! I can't do it! Sorry. No offense intended.

Yes ! I actually meant to respond to that , sorry I didn't. Now I must say, I don't really understand what your saying about shooting a blank target I guess, I'm probably just over thinking it but can't really wrap my head around shooting something without a aiming point of some kind. Seem to me I'd just be having my sight dancing around in the center ring I guess . I've never shot f class or similar though so maybe that's what your supposed to do ? Idk it just doesn't makes sense to me. Not saying it's stupid or anything, not saying that at all just saying I don't quite understand.

As I explained in a prior post, it was a technique used by our instructor when I shot on an Army post pistol team. It was not used wholesale, only when a particular shooter was having specific problems as evidenced by shots on a bullseye target.

For example, heeling shot anticipating the recoil. The instructor would turn the B2 (indoor) target with the blank side facing the shooter and have him shoot a couple strings focusing on the front sight. The idea was to reestablish follow through by focusing on the front sight through the shot. This was merely a drill, not something that was a standard part of a practice string that was shot for score. The shots clustered together signified that the shooter had reestablished the fundamental in question and was instructed to make a mental note of shot sequence, i.e., feel of the grip, trigger squeeze, front sight at the time of the shot, etc.

If you feel uncomfortable using such a technique, then don't use it. It was just a suggestion to help you overcome "target anxiety."

Ok I think I get what your saying now, I think I'll give it a try next time I can
