Nickel City Dude Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I have heard this before but the way I heard it was "shooting is 90% mental and the rest of it is in your head". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 It's hard to have a good match with only the 10%. I should have brought at least 50% mental with me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 First, look at his link, then try: https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/it-s-90-percent-mental/ Sometimes when you post an entire link it gives too much (unneeded) information about your email. The 90% idea is true IF... if your are strong and healthy. It does take some strength to properly and efficiently handle guns. Plus move, plus have the required endurance for a match. So it takes both mental and physical conditioning - just ask some of us older folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Devil Dale Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Shooting might be 90% mental for a lot of folks, but it can also be quite physically limited for very small people shooting front-heavy guns, or for folks who haven't yet had their cataracts operated, or those with serious arthritis in their hands. Everyone is not necessarily the same. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk James Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Excellent article. Very good pts. You get out of it what you put into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I don't know about the 90% figure...... BUT I do know that to achieve certain goals, you have to work hard to get there. Working to achieve sub 2 seconds for 10 shot GF runs or sub 4 seconds for 6 shotgun runs requires setting your goals to those measures previously thought 'impossible'. But, as DDD stated above, ya gotta have some physical ability (no health barriers) to achieve those goals. As to how much the mental aspect is involved......... all I know is that ya gotta 'believe' that its possible and work hard to get there. And it helps to have the $$$ to buy a lot of shotgun shells......... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusz M. Dutch SASS Life 55326 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The difference between Gold and Silver in any sport often times is the mental game, especially in the top world events such as the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 That is one reason you should be practicing while on the speaker option of your phone. Very important when doing some with safety concerns such as shooting - or DRIVING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think "believe" is strong enough. You have to "know" it's possible. And yeah, those championship belt buckles ain't cheap when you factor in the time and practice ammo they take to earn.
