Hello @igolfat8Your 1:00 and 7:00 targets are pretty special Thomas!
Have you tried the AA 13.4 pellets? I shoot those in my Vixen and they shoot soooo much more accurately than the 13.4 JSBs. I’m not sure why but that’s been my experience.Hello @igolfat8
Switching to the 13.43 pellets from the heavier 15.89 has absolutely changed this Pistol's accuracy. These domed pellets are also out shooting the Wadcutter pellets. I love the clean neat round hole produced by the Wadcutters but at 15-feet and out to 10-meters they are not as accurate.

Hello @drpietrzakNot in folks class here, but my P17 with AA 8.4 Fields. Shoot 10-meters off a bag with a red dot. I try. IT IS A B-40 based practice target.

I agree. Shooting with a red dot for precise accuracy is no easy task. @drpietrzak your target looks great!
I'm going to third this. I know from experience red dot shooting is tough. Just seeing the target is hard enough, but the flare around the dot for me makes it nearly impossible to hit accurately. Great job on your part.Not in folks class here, but my P17 with AA 8.4 Fields. Shoot 10-meters off a bag with a red dot. I try. It is a B-40 based practice target.

Thomas, nice shooting. May I suggest another technique to try? Raise the dot just slightly above the bull then lower it onto the bull and break the shot. Try to hold on the bull for a millisecond and allow your muscles to stack up then break the shot. It’s difficult to describe.Hello Everyone,
I tried some more Olympic Style Offhand target shooting this morning but with no improvement. I used a new technic by acquiring the “Dot” in the Dot Scope while still pointed toward the ground and then raise the Pistol up and as soon as the “Dot” was on the 10-Ring pull the trigger. My hands shake too much to acquire a target and hold very long to aim, so with a bit more practice this may work for me.
