This first happened to me when I shot my Kahr back in February. I was fine for the first 5-6 rounds, and then my hands started to shake uncontrollably. My sights were all over the place. I went from a 1.5" group at 20 feet, to looking like shotgun pattern.
Fast forward to yesterday. I went shooting with my new Glock. I hadn't shot since March (yeah I know, HUGE bummer. Life really got in the way. When I shot the Kahr back in Feb it had been about 4-5 months since shooting before that as well.). First 4-5 shots were absolutely fine. Then again I began to shake like a leaf.
Things I tried that did not remedy the situation:
1) Loosen my grip on the gun.
2) Push/pull more with my shooting hand and support hand.
3) Push/pull less with my shooting hand and support hand.
4) Change from Weaver to Isosceles stance.
5) Take a 2-3 minute break and stretch.
Here's the thing. I'm 26 years old and in very good shape. This is definitely not a strength issue. Before March i had never ever gotten the shakes when shooting. I don't shake any other time. It doesn't happen when shooting rifles/shotguns. Only pistol. My hands are steady as a rock right now. They were a little trembly for about 15 mins after I left the range, but then steadied out.
Seriously, I'm kinda scared. Doesn't sound like early onset Parkinson's or MS to me because I don't shake any other time. But I am concerned.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps I'm just getting too excited over finally getting to go shooting?
