eading your post it does seem like you are anticipating recoil

Congratulation on your Distinguished!I hate to tell you that it’s not quick or easy. Lots of dry fire lots of live fire. Get a 22 and learn to shoot it first. 3”-5” unsupported groups at 25 yards are very possible with a good pistol so don’t sell out and quit too early.
I just realized a personal goal this summer through similar training. Distinguished Pistol Shot.

Is there a time limit or number of matches it takes for you to get to 30? I guess it would help get you in the top 10% if the other people you were shooting with were terrible shots?It’s pretty complex. Google CMP Distinguished Pistol Shot. Basically it’s shot with a service pistol with 4 lb trigger and iron sights. One handed slow fire at 50 yards timed and rapid at 25 yards. The top 10% win 6 points top 5% , 8 maybe 10 points. Once you have 30 points you achieve the award.
I appreciate everyone’s help. I’m gonna pick up some snap caps today. And I’ll be back at the range Sunday (and hopefully Monday if I can get my day off work!) I was about 80% sure my problems were just because I’m brand new to guns. But there was a good 20% in the back of my mind telling me that I was just a terrible shot and maybe I should get rid of the gun and get a bat or something!!!!

Just get a .22 da/sa revolver and learn the mechanics first. Slowly work your way up to X caliber. And .22lr is a whole ton cheaper too.

Bayou Rifles (Addicks Range)hosts a Precision Pistol match on the 4th Sunday of the month, be there around 8:30. Its $20 you get to shoot 270 shots. There are beginners and masters there and we all want to help. Start coming every month with a 22 (Buckmark, mk4, etc) and I guarantee within 3 months you’ll be twice as accurate. In a year you’ll be amazed at what you can do.

Do you have to be a member to shoot the matches?
Very good. Maybe I'll check one out and find out just how humbled I can be. I've been wanting to see the Bayou Rifles club anyway.
