I've had a S&W 686 since about 1990 and have always loved shooting it. I recently started shooting again and am a pretty good shot with it. I can usually keep fairly tight groups even if they are usually slightly left and down of where I'm aiming.

I got a new Shield 9mm and shot it for the first time on Saturday and my shots were pretty wild. I had some on target but many others were way off. Any tips for a new semi shooter or do I need to just practice more?
