I can shoot early, but prefer late,, or sometimes I just get the itch to "shoot now" when at the table, I load,,, checking over each round that goes in the rifle,,,, then air shoot the entire stage,,, using my hands for every move,,,, muscle memory,,, I do this several times,,, Yea I also saw you primping your hair and making sure your makeup was on okay!!

Stogie Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I found I was overthinking the stages by planning TOO much (at least that was the excuse I used). So now I try to only run through the stage a couple of times at the loading table and it has worked better for me. Now if I could actually shoot the stage like I visualize it in my head I'd be fast as greased lightning, transitions would be smooth as glass and I would never ever miss.

McCandless Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well, I found out something about my mental prep. I'm going about it all wrong! I'm healing up from surgery on my eye for a detached retina. Everything's going fine, but my dominant eye won't focus properly. So, my front sights are a blur, the targets are a blur, my world is a blur. Soooo... I went to a local monthly match Sat. (My first one since the surgery). My mindset was, whatever, just have fun. If I hit the targets, it's a bonus. If I miss, it doesn't matter. To my surprise, point-shooting, I only had 3 misses for the match. My times improved, and I had more fun. Time for a mental reappraisal of the how and why I approach a match. Time for a hmmmmmm moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 When the stage is explained, I run through the stage once in my mind. When I get to the loading table, I'll run through the stage sequencing in my mind again. I'll try to watch one of the better shooters before me, but in general, I don't like to watch other people shoot a stage and miss. Kinda like watching a golfer with the yips putting. Drives me crazy. Just as I get to the line, I will quickly run through the stage sequencing again in my mind. I never draw differently. I always draw the strong side pistol first. If one is more accurate than the other, and there is a long pistol shot, I'll stage the more accurate pistol in the appropriate holster. I stage my rifle and shotgun exactly the same within the stage guidelines every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roscoe Regulator Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I try to get the pistol split counts right in my mind. For example, a double tap sweep would be 2-2-1 and then 1-2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ T. Sites Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 When that beep goes off it puts your mind in fight or flight mode, when your dry firing at home use a timer or app for your phone so you are use to the beep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
