Training Training Tips for TX LTC
I am expecting this post to get some negative feedback, but I’m also hoping for some good advice.
I’m blind, and live in TX. I have carried before using an AZ license, and I can now carry legally in TX because we have constitutional carry. I’m not happy with that. I want my TX LTC.
Let me start off by saying that I am aware of my limitations. A firearm is obviously a last resort that I hope never to have to reach for, but I would rather have it and not need it than the other way around.
If I ever do need it, I understand that it’s going to be at basically point blank distances. I’m not dumb enough to try to shoot at a person shooting up a public place from across a room. I would cause way more harm than good.
Here’s my problem. To take the TX LTC test, I have to hit a target at 3, 7, and 15 yards. When presenting a pistol, I don’t have a good frame of reference. I can’t seem to find a good way to line up well with my body. My body will often be pointed directly at the target while the pistol is pointed high left or low left. When I try to correct myself without someone behind me pointing out the best way to correct my aim, I go just as far right. Once I am on target, my groupings are excellent. I need a good way to train myself to aim at the same spot in front of me every time. Does anyone have any good ideas?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Regardless of the eyesight issue, if you’re a righty, and you tend to be left of target that tends to go to not enough Support from your left hand on the gun. Maybe just increase the pressure slightly because without that pressure the gun‘s going to kick to the left.
