My Mother is the same as your wife. When she started shooting at 72 she held right handed & tilted her head to the R. far enough to sight w/ L. eye. awkward, OK acuracy through the 7 yd target, but slow. At 15 accurace suffered & at 25 all over the paper & seldom in the blue part. I tried several things, some of the above, all w/ no improvement. Finally started her shooting one handed using a duelling stance. If you do not know what that is I will try to explain in writing best I can w/o being able to show. Her face should be at a 90 degree angle to the target w/ R. shoulder toward the target. Extend right arm toward target so you have a straight line from L. shoulder through R. shoulder & straight down extended R. arm. Let her begin pointing a finger only first. Look at the target & point her finger. This will prepare her to point the gun & yet ignore it w/ her eyes. When you point a finger at something you don't look at the finger. Let her begin to point shoot. One hand only. Look at the target & point w/ barrel being finger extention. Get her to concentrate on looking at the target & not down the barrel trying to acquire sights. If she can't deal w/ recoil start her w/ a smaller pistol. (Mom shoots a Sig 232 in .380. Small hole but she is 75 now & very accurate.) Start her at 3yd. target. If her trigger pull is not really heavy all her shots should hold the 5 ring on Tex. CHL targets w/ no trouble. Move back to 7 yd. target. Look at the target not the pistol or sights. Point & shoot. Her draw should not be the duelling position of up & extending to the target. Let her start w/ her hands anywhere in front of her that they are comfortable. After she is comfortable point shooting at 7yd. let her start to point, shoot, then look down the barrel turning head to R. only enough to make a 4 point straight line. L. shoulder, R. eye, R. shoulder, extended R. arm. This drill can be practiced in the house w/ finger first. Then w/ empty weapon if she chooses. As R. eye becomes comfortable looking down the barrel she can start to square up w/ the target. Do it slow. 5 degrees of turn at a time. Worked for Mom. No garantees for yall. Hope you the best.
