20 seconds? that a long holding time - unless you breathe your eyes will start to loose focus due to lack of oxygen, and then all sort of things happen to your sight picture Id say unless you have released your shot in 5-7 seconds - start over. Grip may play a role - wrist movement to align the sigh...

I do agree with Ed in that change in mindset or techniqe may be the key to improvement - For a long time I struggled with CF pistol, then I made a change in equipment (from pistol to revolver) and since I've been steady in the 580's.

The whole aim of having a custom grip is to get a grip that fits th...
