Shooting Diagnostic Help Needed

[gsbell]

I had an odd problem the other day during a practice session.
My accuracy has been weak lately so I though I’d force it with some practice from 20yds. Here was my simple setup, 3 IDPA targets about 5 feet apart with the shooting position at 20 yards. Draw and fire two to each head. I did slow down enough to get good sight pictures and good trigger presses. I did this drill several times and I could only consistently get my hits on the center target. The outside targets I had a couple hit low and several outright misses. Any ideas what is going on here?

Not enough information for anything but a guess.

My guess, though, would be that when you turn from target to target, you're turning the gun instead of your body. Your body above the waist should be a fixed platform that pivots at the waist; twisting your arms, shoulders, or wrists around to orient to a different target changes your grip pressure and all kinds of other things.

That's the only explanation I can think of, though 5' at 60' doesn't seem like it'd be much of a turn.

[don't tread on me]

look at the front sight...NOT the target.

I'm betting this is it, most likely swinging my arms from target to target.
