A few Weeks ago I was talking with a bullseye shooter about how they sighted their team's guns. First the team captain and the best shooter bench rest shot each gun and adjusted the sights for perfect alignment. Second the shooter that owned the gun shot the gun and the sights were readjusted for the actual shooter. I was very surprised at this approach and asked some more questions. It was explained the if the shooter alway hit the target at 9:00, the sights were set for 3:00. I explained that their approach was only putting a band-aid on to mask the shooters technical errors. This could work only if the shooter made the same error for every shot and that most shooters made a number of errors, but rarely the same one every time.
I suggested that a better approach was to work with each shooter to identify the error(s) and show them how to fix them.
I am not a bullseye shooter, nor do I play on TV. Therefore I would welcome your comments and other ideas. BTW, is this a normal approach for other bullseye teams?
