pistol it is. First tell us your game. I shoot bullseye matches. My accuracy concern extends out to 50 yards. My desires are groups about 1" at 50 yards, but my expectations are 2"at best. This come from much experience. Once in a while I get the sighting and trigger control just right and shoot some fantastic groups. You can usually tell a good group from the feel and "call" of the shots. There is a caveat to group shooting from machine rest or even sandbags. It can lead you to expect to much from your following offhand groups. Frustrations from this should be avoided.
So yes shoot the same point of aim all the time. Even adjust your sights so the group is lower and you can not see it in the sight picture. Be as consistent as you can. Try to find a comfortable sandbag position so your eye remains the normal distance from your sight. And KEEP your eye on the front sight. Pull the trigger straight back.
