Whitebridges Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ah sorry you had an indifferent day LG. It wasn't a bad day 'cause you've recognised the error of your ways and will be a better shot for it. Half of good shooting is knowing where you are goind wrong and where you are missing. There's always another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I know someone, he shall remain nameless, who is a cracking shooter but misses clays before he's even called pull (I am sure we all know someone like that too). Professional sports people imagine winning before they run / race / shoot / whatever. It helps to focus the mind and means if you are watching the clay break in your mind, you can't think about lead, mounting the gun properly, keeping the gun moving and all the rest of it. As has been said elswhere, be the clay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sporting is only on wednesdays and ABT is on weds too. Made up for it anyway i went boat fishing off my mates boat just out of Amble and got me a few rock cod and a half dozen coalies too Bit of a swell running first thing but it leveled out a fair bit toward evening.

dunganick Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 those scores seem fine to me mate, you know your having a bad day when your shooting half your normal scores. i have one shoot which is a bit of a mind block (i will be shooting it tomorrow) it is shot over 3 stands of 10, very competitive, very hard birds, at one point i was doing 7ex30 here. thankfully that was a while back. I still dont shoot it well, cant explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
