Tips & Hints of the Week # 8 – The Mind Game & Going Through The Stages
Posted by Junior Shooters
By: Andy Fink
A positive attitude is extremely important in any shooting competition. Think, I am going to hit every target, or, Every shot a bullseye, or, I can do it! Keeping this type of attitude really works and it applies to all of the shooting sports from precision air rifle to action type shooting.
Now, combine this with going through each stage, string, or shot in your mind before you shoot. Think about each move, the position of your body, the angle to your target, your sigh picture, breathing, speed at which you intend to shoot the stage or take the shot. This takes not only concentration but the patience to make your self do it every time. Almost all of the top shooters use these techniques.
Try these techniques next time you are out shooting and let me know if they worked for you.
