Post a picture of the target from the gun range, the distance at which you were firing from, and the gun you were using.
I was using a Smith and Wesson .45
shooting at a distance of 25 yards

I shoot high power rifle competivally (sp?) at a distance up to 600 yards (1800 feet). (200 standing, 300 sitting, 600 prone) i also shoot pistol up to 50 yards. And I shoot deer over 100 yards with a muzzleloader. Oh I dont use scope either.
Rifle- I use an AR-15 Army match rifle
Pistol- .22 revolver
Muzzleloader - custom
Oh I also got a chance to go to the California Highway Patrol Academy and shoot a M-16 full auto, Tompson, MPK-5, and an Uzi.
this is what happened when my girl friend, her sisters, her dad and I shot

I can hit a quarter with my dads 7 mag out at 100 yards 2/3 times with a scope. I can drop a squirrel 75 yards out with a pellet gun ( stupid squirrels deserve to die for eating things in our garage). I can shoot an 8 inch group with an unrifled slug at 100

You're not fully gripping the gun with your left hand. :dummy:

I've never been to a shooting range, so I have no pictures, but we normally go shooting on private property. My friend has 98 acres of land. We usually shoot skeet (no not that kind). My friend and I have only been shooting for a few years and we're the two best guys out there. We're better than all the older guys that have been shooting for decades. We went to a tournament hosted by my friend's cousin's business. We were paired up with people we didnt' know in two man teams. My team came in 4th out of about 25 teams. I also won a brand new Remington 1187 12 gauge in a raffle. I must say that I was extremely happy.

The only time I've been shooting was when I took my hunters safety course, but I managed to hit a perfect bullseye with 2 shots from a .22 with no scope at 75 yards away. Other than that I only bow hunt. i'll try to get pics as soon as I find the target.

I can pee in a hole the size of a melon. Most of the time. Whenever I miss... well, that's what toilet paper is for.

actually im not suppose to grip at all with the left hand at full auto. Its impossible to stop the climb by pulling down. so if you have your hand just supporting it up without your fingers it wont climb as much. And as for the shirt I could care less.

btw you're leaning back, and all your weights on your right foot, get squared up, bend your knees a little and don't fall backwards on yourself

actually i was leaning forward. But it doesnt matter with that mouse gun. If it was the M-14 i was shooting Id be leaning like i was shooting skeet. You can see it better in other pictures. You'd just have to take my word for it on this one. Unless you want me to post another pic.
*edit* Ok i cant find a better pic. Just believe me. I have the rifle rolled into my sholder. So it might have been that I was leaning back like I shoot offhand but putting weight on my front foot.
Oh I also got a chance to go to the California Highway Patrol Academy and shoot a M-16 full auto...

And who can tell me what im doing wrong in that pic?There's room for variation and personal preference, but on your rear/trigger hand arm, I believe you should keep your elbow pointed down towards the ground more and not straight off to the side as you have pictured.

well i'm mostly a bird shooter, and i even shoot my rifles like that, so maybe thats why you look leaned back. we, as bird shooters are usually amost hunched so we can get our heads right down the line. I'd also say you're right elbow's a little more flared than i usually do it; also you don't have the whole butt on your shoulder. but i'm sure with that gun thats how you're supposed to be. tactical weapons arent my deal, im a hunter
