re: Shooting long range with a sub compact?

With my 10mm I am, but with my PPQ, I have to consciously think about how I pull the trigger. My pointer finger is fricked up so it is hard for me to pull the trigger straight back. I have to really pay attention past 20 yards. I end up hitting consistently at 7-8 o'clock if not, but not 6" lower. (Special thanks to CD for letting me chew through a few 2x4s at Honey Island )

From what was explained to me by a few trainers, I was slightly pushing the gun to the left when my finger pulled back

Make sure only the last part of your finger is on the trigger. Keep the finger part on it, not the joint part. You can also try and turn your grip more inward to get your finger on there correctly. That's what I have to do (but my finger is fricked up)


Probably your best option is to get a good trainer to watch you. They know the mechanics and fundamentals, and can observe things you can't see. Unless they are an a-hole, they won't have any problem doing it for free

Also, you have to train yourself out of it over many, many sessions. You won't be able to fix what comes naturally over 200 rounds
