10M pistol home practicing

[Garry]

Do you have to adjust the sights for scaled down targets at six yards, or would they be at the same setting as for 10m full size targets?

dry fire and trigger techniques can be practiced at length without having to fire a real shot - breathing and raising can also be done without using a target, just find yourself a nice, quite part of the house with a reference point on the wall and practice your raise - it has helped me no end,

good advise from the doctor.
if you are going to shoot live then practise obtaining a good group instead of worring about the target.
concentrate on obtaining the correct sight picture,this is paramount.
your aiming mark at 6yds will be the same as for any distance, i.e. at six o clock below the black. how far below will depend on you.
your sights will have to altered slightly to compensate for different light etc.

plenty , if not too much advise on there.
good luck.

i see your from brum.
pop along to aldersley on the 23/24 jan to see what its all about. a popular event for pistol and rifle shooters at 10m.

I had an idea of an A4 size piece of board with a 5mm hole in centre, then attach a laser sight on pistol and practice aiming into the hole at arms length (in shooting postion) at a given distance or 6 yards in your case, and see how long I could hold it there!

Helped to build up steadiness . You could also dry fire whilst doing this

Thanks for the replies.
I've sorted out some scaled down 10m targets, so I'm all set for when the missus is out of the way.
What's happening at Adersley? Is it a competition?

Cheers

yeh, but you're a windowlicker, so staring at a blank wall for hours on end is progress
