Flyers to the left and high from my TX200

[Fred J]

I haven't shot my TX200 for the last two weeks while I was on vacation. I picked up the rifle today and shot it off my bucket and sticks. About every 10 shots I would get a set of 3-5 shots that went high and to the left, then the next 10 shots would be fine. It did not matter if the wind (~5 mph) was blowing or not.

What might be causing this? I assume that I have forgotten something about holding and shooting springers while I was on vacation.

By the way, I checked the stocks screws, and they are fine.

Just be sure you're holding the gun exactly the same way every time and pay close attention to pulling the trigger straight back.

If right handed ... too much cheek weld pressure and / or to much grip tension from trigger hand.
face BARELY touching comb of stock, shoulder pressure from the forestock holding hand, Trigger squeezed between trigger finger and thumb ... fingers below loose.

Thank you for your help. Problem solved. Holding the pistol grip lightly did the trick.

Along with a "light grip", I also rest my thumb on the side of the wrist of the stock instead of wrapping around the wrist. I found that when "wrapping the thumb" I tended to twist the gun when pulling the trigger with my smallish hand size.

I don't think I've ever read shooting technique so simply stated, especially the comb part. Thanks Scott!
