How do you visualize...

Now my head hurts, but I am learning something. These posts help me relate to past situations. I had never really thought about the difference between responding and reacting in the shooting game.

2 scenarios

1.While shooting a plate rack I miss one and return to it, then continue with the rest.

2.While shooting a plate rack I miss one but continue to shoot the rest, then return and pick up the missed plate.

Which is a response or reaction ?

Did you know it was a miss before or after the bullet got there?

I go back to the plate but not because I saw bullet hit dirt or I did not hear the ding I see the miss with the sights and react to the visualization not the ring or dirt flying.

Guilty of not knowing I missed it. I saw it in my peripheral vision.

I am guilty of stoping and going back, but lately I continue with the rack then go back.

I sometimes but not allways (trying to go faster) get them all the first time by seeing the dot rise before shifting my eyes to the next plate.

If you saw the miss why did you not shoot it before you left?

That (I think) may be the difference in reacting and responding to your sights.

That may be it. If I shoot a follow up shot right away (calling my shot) I am responding.

If I have to go back for a follow up shot, I am reacting to what I did not see before I left the missed plate ????????????????????????

Bottom line, see the plate, see sights on plate, see sight lift before snapping eyes to next plate.
