There should be a word for focusing too much on one thing

[IHAVEGAS]

And then forgetting basic things.

"I really need to make sure my trigger control is good when I get to that long hard cover target" - and then forgetting to reload - silly stuff like that.

There's a Latin word that seems to fit. Its FUBAR.

I think my wife calls it:

O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D

or, something along those lines. I wasn't paying attention...

forgetting to reload.

Shoot OPEN, and you'll never have to remember to reload again. :bow:

Task fixation.

I sometimes would design it into stages (like giving a nice place to hit a reload, but also having the shooter have to open a door).

i've always used "mind f*ck"

when you concentrate so hard on doing a simple task, you mind f*ck yourself and screw it up.

[R.Elliott]

How about "bulls eyeing?"
