Hi guys,
I was out sighting in some pistols and rifles with another guy yesterday. We set up an impromptu steel target stand and taped paper to it, then shot at it off a rest. He had brought out a Taurus 92 he'd just bought at wan
We had a target set up at about 20 yards and started shooting at an NRA 100 yard bullseye target (just what we had on hand)
After three or four shots, I realized that none of them were hitting the paper.
I brought the target to probably 20 feet and tried shooting again. This time the shots started landing, but they were hitting outside the black, I would guess 5 or 6 inches low. I'm not expecting quarter-inch accuracy out of a pistol, but 6 inches low at seven yards is a problem.
The guy I was with shot the gun as well, and got the same kind of groups - way low.
The sights on this gun are fixed. Is there anything we can do to remedy this?
