Dragongoddess, watch your front sight as you press the trigger smoothly and firmly. As you do this keep watching the front sight, if you are really and truly watching it while you press the trigger the front sight will suddenly lift off the popper and it will fall. One of the biggest things you need to learn is to watch that front sight and see it actually lift from the target. When you see it lift from the target you will know EXACTLY where that bullet went. It is also your que to move to the next target. If on paper you will see it lift and begin your second shot, press press press while recovering from recoil, then press firmly when the shot is lined up. When the sight lifts SNAP your eyes to the next target, the gun will follow, start to press press press as the gun is coming into position, then press firmly when the shot is lined up. Repeat as necessary. This is called 'seeing the sight lift' and 'trigger prep'. Both are considered by many to be advanced techniques but I disagree completely. Both are fundamentals to shooting accurately, and fundamentals to shooting IPSC. Work on these two things and you will make tremendous strides in your IPSC shooting ability.
Good for you for getting out and trying it!!!!
