My Instruction was Defeated by Sight Picture

On my way out of the range yesterday, I took 10 minutes to help a girl in her early 20's with her rented VP9. Her target was evenly covered with holes all over it. She was new, trying, and struggling.

I helped her build a firing grip and instructed her on sight picture, sight alignment, trigger pull, and dry fire. Didn't seem to matter - I couldn't stop her anticipatory flinching. Even at 3 yards, all her shots were loosely grouped about 4 inches below the target.

When I got home, I realized she wasn't flinching. I gave her the wrong instructions on the VP9 sight picture. My Glocks have a "6 O'clock hold" where the bullet hole goes a little higher than the front sight. I think that VP9 was probably sighted for a "Combat Hold" with the bullet hole under the front sight dot.

Just thought I would share, so that others may learn from my failure.
