-
- I started shooting a 357, 6" barrel Ruger. I have not yet adjusted
- the sights (until I can get my groups smaller).
-
- My groups are low and to the right. I think trigger flinch still
- accounts for some of it, but not sure how much is due to flinch and
- how much is due to sights being off.
-
- I can adjust the sights to compensate but am getting the impression
- that doing this to soon would cover up shooting inaccuracy.
-
- So, do I keep practicing until I get my groups smaller, and then
- adjust the sights?
-
- If I adjust the sights now, am I making up for a flaw in shooting skill
- and how does one know when the skills are honed or the sights
- are adjusted to compensate for the shooting flinch?
-
- Thanks in Advance!
