Why Your Group Is Hitting High
What’s happening
A group centered well above point of aim, with the same left-right spread you'd expect from a normal group, points at how the gun is being pushed through the shot rather than where it's aimed.
Why it happens
- Heeling — pushing the heel of the shooting hand into the gun to preemptively counter recoil
- Anticipating muzzle rise and pushing the front sight down before the shot breaks, over-correcting past level
- A grip that's too loose up top, letting the gun's natural pivot point sit higher than it should
Drill: Wall drill (dry fire)
Unloaded gun, muzzle a few inches from a blank wall. Press the trigger through a full cycle while watching the front sight in your peripheral vision — if the muzzle dips or jumps at the break, that's heeling. Isolate the trigger finger from the rest of the grip until the sight stays dead still through the click.

Log a session after you drill and Range Tracer measures whether your group actually tightened up — not just whether it felt better.
