True, but maybe he doesn't need to work under pressure... Funny though, when I used to shoot in IPSC I developed a real fast double tap that always placed two shots right next to one another side to side (would have expected vertical orientation if I was doing it right). They may not have been where I wanted them, but always right next to each other.
I mention this because I used to practice every weekend, and
not once did I ever achieve that kind of precision during practice. I guess my mind was too involved. So, my drills on the range consisted of working on sight picture, draw, time to first shot etc. Even shooting Bullseye, my best scores occur during a match.
I do a lot of dry-fire as well Kel. It really is a must if you're serious about raising your scores.
There's that word again huh?
By serious, I'm not trying to be elitist. I just mean people who are not casual plinkers or home defense'ers, but shooters who compete or otherwise are trying to learn how improve their performance.
I'm about to head out to a sports center to try my hand at sporting clays again. The wife and I used to do this on a regular basis, now it's been 3 years.
I used to say that my shotgun doesn't kick. Wonder what I'll think now...
