Thanks for everyone's help!
Since posting this one month ago I've had the barrel and front sight replaced under warranty by Heritage and started learning how to shoot. The gun is right on but I sure need practice.

I'm confused about trigger control. Should I place the middle part or very tip of my trigger finger on the trigger? I am shooting low with both the 22 and 9mm... sure seems like technique.

I built a solid tri-pod which I am using with a small stool at the range so as to simulate actual field conditions.
Thanks,
Mike
