Target Analyzing.

First topic message reminder :

I shot a 50 foot 90 round .22 match this morning for training. I don't concern myself with score, just shoot at black targets, no scoring rings. When I packed up and got ready to call it a day, I noticed something on the cardboard backer, see picture attached. There are 3 distinct "groups". 6-7 shots at 1:00. 8-9 shots at 3:00. 9-10 shots closer to the middle at 3:00. Ignore the shots outside the black for now, and yes there are some outside the picture, but I was able to call some of them. What should I do? Move the rear sight 1-2 clicks left and try again next week? Focus on grip placement? Focus on trigger finger placement? Do all three? Your critique is welcome. Thank you.

Interesting conversation. It seems normal to me to have different groups form during a shooting session. With all else being consistent within the shot process, different groups forming shows subtle changes in how the subconscious is processing the shooting session. If I am shooting pure and in the "zone" i.e. in flow, i have one group forming. If I am struggling and my conscience mind is interfering, thinking, I will have 2 or three groups form. The conscience mind slows down and interferes with the subscience resulting in more than one group forming....
