    If you did not figure this out problem out yet. Something you can do on your own is get pistol rest, even a simple rest will help diagnose the problem. Might find one you can use at a gun range. This keeps the firearm steady and helps take you out of the equation. Consistently high could be you breaking your wrist.

    I suggest wearing reading glasses when you shoot this will bring your strongest focus to the front sight where it should be target should be blurry

Bench test firing at 10 meters was giving me a 5 shot grouping pretty much on center and with about a 3 inch diameter. Started to figure it out and my shots started working their way lower on the target.
    Make the notch on the rear sight just a little wider. Do it in small amounts until you can get a good sight picture with light on each side.
    I am 75 yrs. old and it helps me a great deal.
