How To Aim?

Driftwood you are correct, the older Colts are set for about 50 yards and will shoot high at 15 and higher at 25. WM

Aim small miss small.

A trick an old friend in Texas taught me for CCW qualification shooting at standard police qualification target was to shoot the first shot then aim at the bullet hole for subsequent shots.

Fits in to the aim small miss small category.  Its all about focus and concentration.

That scheme will only work if your point of aim was the same as your point of impact. Think about it for a minute. Say your point of impact is one inch above your point of aim. You fire the first shot, then you aim at the bullet hole. Your next hit will be one inch above the first. And that's only if you can hold perfectly without shaking and can pull the trigger without jerking the gun. If you do shake a bit or jerk the trigger the point of impact will be farther away. If you want a small group, you are always better off aiming at the same spot for the entire string of shots. If you want to move the group, you are playing a guessing game.
