Assuming you are right handed...

Shooting to the right usually involves pulling the gun to the right with the trigger finger as you activate the trigger. Or, you can by pushing with your thumb.
The indicator for this problem is all the shots are rather close together vertically, but spread out further horizontally; a wide oval shape, possibly higher on the outside.
If the shots are all in a fairly circular group, you're doing the right thing and your sights need to be moved 8 - 10 inches to the left.

You might have someone who shoots better try the revolver and see where it prints for them.


You didn't say how far from the target you were shooting. If you're a beginning shooter, you should start close and work back. Start about seven yards (most places will let you put the target that close) and work on keeping all the shots centered. Then, work your way out farther.
Also, shoot slowly at first. You want to get the fundamental proceedures down before trying for speed.
