Aim line , poi, to target position

[Hateful McNasty]

I had to fix my 50y rack and put in new tin can lid targets .

Funny ive always been bad at multi bulleye targets. As usually my hits are off in the direction of the bulls position on the card .. if top left bull i tend to hit high left , center right just right .... ect ..

Just like here

Two cans in the feet at the ground


The left i consistently hit low left


The right it consistently low right


Maybe im just cross-eyed regardless i never over came this issue

When is the last time you had your eyes checked by a real doctor?

Are you shooting iron sights?

Yes , stock hw/r9 irons at 50y ( my norm) ..

Ok, iron sights...

I attended (as a civilian) service rifle clinics with the US ARMY Rifle Team, some 30yrs ago. One of the lectures and demos was on errors caused by lack of front sight focus. Their mantra was "the target is a distraction". The demonstration was fun and enlightening. We shot std targets at 100yds, plotting all shots as usual...and then they replaced them with blank paper. I shot a beautiful group with nothing to aim at...front sight nicely in focus.

It may be that...

Ya, the hw sights aint easy to focus on unless its more ideal condition. If more indoor good lighting and a bright background at the target there pretty good . Out doors in changing sunlight and shade cover. You kinda get that blurring or vanishing of somthing. ( Rear sight notch , front sight blade , point of aim ).
Now in good conditions the rear notch is clear the front blade is clear in that rear notch and the aim point / bulls is clear to hold it on and you pretty much dead nutts on ..

Still. Funny that a target that's low left i hit low left. And the target thats low right i hit low right.

The target on the rack thats pretty even to my chest hight and center i pretty much hit on it straight evenly .

I have that trouble shooting these type targets

My shot will most likely be off in hhe same position as each bull is . Way i rarely shoot them kinda targets ( irons)

There's a lot of psychology in shooting. Your brain may let your aim fade further off center due to asymmetry of background clutter or other unconscious visual cues. It seems like your "additive miss" reacting to position is reasonably consistent. It would be fun to test it with a scope...

ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians. Only the first one is a doctor and is usually better at spotting problems.
