The guy who won the NMLRA pistol Championship this year and has won it
several times is Kim Best. He aims center hold. I would not want to tell Kim
or my wife or any other National champion that they are doing it wrong. I let
my daughter read this thread, she just looked at me and said, Dad, what's wrong with those people? I told her to be nice and polite. Wife and I both have
our CCW permits, and we both carry. When your life might be on the line , I or
her would not want to try to use a 6:00 aiming point. All three of us only know
one way to shoot weather it's paper targets or otherwise . I know many hunters
and I can say not a one of them aims 6:00 on a deer. I guess our family just
hangs out with a different crowd. We have about a 100 members in our club.
There might be some of them who aim 6:00 . I don't know. But the ones who
place or win the matches they shoot, I do know aim center. I know because we
have talked about it . Like I said, you all can aim anyway you want to. Whatever
you like. Whatever works for you. I really did try the 6:00 hold about 25 years
ago. I tried for about three months. I really wanted it to work because the sights
look so good. I was trying to find different ways of doing things to improve my
scores. There were times I would shoot six or seven 10's in a row and I would
think,wow, I'm on to something here. Then comes a 8 or even a 7. At 25 yds
that will kill you in a match. At 50 yds that would be a 5. Stick a fork in you
because your done. What I was doing was trying to make it too perfect. I would
rather have eight 10's and two 9's than eight 10's a 7 and a 8. There is a old
saying , A good score is made by the absent of poor shots , not by a few good ones. You all have fun now. Post me your targets, especially your 50 yd ones . I'm going to go have some coffee now.
