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.
Correct Left Pull
- Check your stance: ensure feet are shoulder-width apart
- Verify grip pressure is even between both hands
- Focus on straight-back trigger pull
- Consider adjusting sight alignment
These are the suggestions Notch shows in the app. Follow your range's safety rules and your coach's advice.
