Ron Ankeny Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 As the regulars may recall, I struggled with trigger freeze for many months about 2 years ago. The forum members coached me through the problem and trigger freeze now only rears it's ugly head on rare occasions. Today I absolutely shattered my former personal best on a Bill Drill. It's a good feeling. Draw, .90 (that's way faster than my par time), .16, .14, .14, .14, and .13 for a grand total of 1.61. Oh how I wish I knew what I did to allow this to happen.

blkbrd Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 That is incredible, my finger and eyes don't want to run faster than .17. And yours was speeding up through the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Nice work Ron. Sounds like you were relaxed and let the vision guide the shooting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ron, That's good shooting. Trigger freeze is the best tension-ometer there is, and sounds like you had none on that run. Great job! SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Habicht Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Ron, I had a similar experience last week that I recounted in the April match thread. Basically I was so tense and shooting so badly, that I elected to shoot a bill drill on each of the six targets in a row. The first five went badly. I remember thinking when I set up in front of target six that my shooting simply sucks today and I remember accepting that and having no expectations of anything different. I remembered that my draw times had been coming down a little from a high of 1.80 to about a 1.55. When I got set and hit the timer (on random delay) I turned my hearing up --- I was curious if by starting the draw on the first instant of the timer I could break 1.50 on the draw --- it turned out to be a 1.19 draw --- something I haven't done in the last year. Total time was 2.21, five As in the body, one (uncalled) A in the head that really should have been a miss.... For me I think the key was acceptance that my shooting wasn't going to magically improve and having no expectations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Ron You know just let it happen. (cue music spooky) But really that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
