Most of the target aids are to help people fire more bullets without losing accuracy but from personal experience I was wondering if they could be harming individual shooting.
This might get into a "Raygun" question. but from actual target shooting, I've noticed a difference. I have a Beretta(automatic) and a Webley (revolver). The beretta has a lot of padding and a wide grip. When I shoot it I can barely feel the recoil. The Webely is much thinner and I can really feel it kick with each shot, BUT I do better with the Webely when I go through a box of ammo on a range. So this makes me wonder if the pads which make the beretta more comfortable, to shoot, might interfere with accuracy. Both guns are about the same caliber .38 and .380 and the revolver has a slightly longer barrel but this shouldn't make that much oif a difference over time. |
