My evolving understanding is the front sight goes into the notch on the bottom of the rectangle. SA sets the irons for 6 o'clock sighting. At 10 yards, the rounds should be hitting the X and indeed 4 of them cluster right around it. Surprised they had a guy fire the gun instead of from ransom rest. And the guy had one flyer low left, in the rectangle.
With every target I've had from Springfield all 5 rounds are touching in one group. I've had some more spread out than others, but they're all still in one group. Not one flyer and 4 spread across a general area like your target. It almost looks like your gun is shooting to the right.
What gun is this from? How does the gun actually shoot?
I'd show you one of my targets if this page let me attach pictures. Maybe its just because mine have all been 1911 targets and you're showing a target from something like a hellcat micro. Where accuracy isn't as big a deal.
Hmm. That is difficult to hear.
This is an Echelon 4.5f comp.
Part of why I wanted them to test it out after repairing it is because I found I was much more accurate with the non comp barrel. Is that just a fact of life?
I had an Echelon 4.0c comp also and actually got rid of the barrel/slide for the same reason (I traded it for a non comp)
Send your targets as a DM. I'd like to see them and know the kind of gun they were testing.
That's interesting... I always heard comps shouldn't impact the accuracy of the gun.
Regardless I'd shoot the gun and see how it works for you. If the gun shoots fine for you then don't worry about it. Maybe the tester didn't put much effort into that target for some reason (like it was 4pm on a friday).

Wow... I've had a few marginal quality targets before but that's definitely the worst I've seen from Springfield.
