One card can mislead. Notch scores each card from a photo and builds a picture across sessions, so you can tell a habit from a bad day.
Or is it the sight?
If the group is tight and the offset repeats across a whole card, the sight may need moving. Work out the clicks.
Lower Shot Placement
- Check sight picture: equal light gaps
- Verify sight alignment at top of front sight
- Control breathing: shoot at respiratory pause
- Avoid heeling (pushing gun up in anticipation)
These are the suggestions Notch shows in the app. Follow your range's safety rules and your coach's advice.
