You spend hours at the range. You drill fundamentals, watch every recoil video Brandon Herrera ever posted, and still, groups open up past 50 yards for no obvious reason.
Most shooters blame technique first. Fair enough. But here is something worth considering: your gear might be fighting you. Gear setup mistakes account for a surprising number of accuracy and reliability problems that get chalked up to “bad days.” A loose flashlight mount, a mismatched spring, an optic that never got properly zeroed — these small oversights stack fast.
Before you start questioning your shooting form, take a hard look at how your gun is actually configured. The stuff people get wrong before they ever fire a shot? That is what costs them.
