TroyB Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm still learning a lot, but after I heard not to change your plan some time ago, afterwards there have been times I already had a plan, but saw those that went ahead of me who I knew were better shooters shoot it differently and/or better than my plan, I went ahead with mine, but made sure to ask them afterward why they shot it the way they did so I would understand for next time. I feel bad for you guys who know everything because learning is part of the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masonlaneactionshooter Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 At smaller matchesI won't change my plan after 5 minutes is up. Doesn't matter if I'm the last shooter in the squad. Larger matches, that buffer is even larger, by the time I get to the stage in a larger match it should be nothing but review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdcenter45 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm relatively a new shooter. My trouble is that I make a plan but I make, study it; but as soon as the buzzer sounds everything goes out the window! Buzzer shy? How to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm relatively a new shooter. My trouble is that I make a plan but I make, study it; but as soon as the buzzer sounds everything goes out the window! Buzzer shy? How to break it. lol. yeah the old delete button! aka "the beep".... timer goes beep, mind goes blank. this is about visualising the stage before you shoot it, focussing your mind as you step up and not letting distraction throw you. you'll find you start getting better and will hold your plan past the beep and then probably forget it at the first malfunction or 'problem' in the stage. with more practice you'll hold it longer and longer till the end.

cas Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Last match I shot, on one stage despite walking it many times and trying to figure out the best way to shoot it, the lightbulb didn't go off till I was stepping in to make ready. It worked out MUCH better than what I was about to do it. The right answer comes when it comes. (Sometimes it's comes well after the stage is over ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Something you'll never hear at a match : " Boy, it's a good thing I changed my stage plan at the last minute as I stepped into the box or I never would have won the stage ...."

Roons Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Stage planning is secondary to execution. Even the worst plan, if executed well, will usually beat the best plan executed horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Good point, and well said. I had many excellent results / finishes on stages when I knew the way I shot the stage wasn't the "best" way, but it was my best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endurokids Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Plan the stage, visualize it repeatedly and execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSStreett Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Always a bad idea for me to change my plan. Once I have mentally committed to a plan I run that plan no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Visualization is a skill like any other... the more you do it the better. It's one of the two most important things a newer shooter needs to learn how to do. The better you are at visualization, the more able you are to make a minor change. I was at a local match recently where a fellow "competitor" allowed me to over look a target during a shared walk-through. I didn't realize it until right before I shot. I had to re-do the whole movie in about 90 seconds. Worked out OK because I have a visualization system that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
