bsand Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Well, it's apparent that I cannot count and shoot at the same time. I always lose count and usually fire one too many rounds. So I've started to download my mags, but I get worried about a dud round so I load an extra rounds and end up firing 7 instead of 6 etc. How do you guys work on counting your shots while still maintaining the splits/accuracy? I find myself slowing down when I have to count my shots. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Don't count shots. Visualize the stage completely (memorize it from 12+ airgunnings until you can play it back with eyes closed) and reload when your little mental movie shows you reloading.

bsand Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 It's more so for Virgina count stages and classifiers where it's 6 reload 6 etc. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't count your shots. You have to program in exactly what you are going to do. If you are thinking your way through a stage, you are going slower than you could.

That's the issue I have right now, I don't count and end up shooting one too many. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, when its time to shoot, playback that rhythm. 1-2-3-4-5-6 becomes bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang. I find myself tapping my finger before I shoot. You can test yourself in practice with Bill drills or with Can You Count, which forces you to do it 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the muscle memory will start to kick in. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdob Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I can't count and shoot at the same time either. I just reload at a predetermined spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRJACKET Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I started counting shots in my head before I ever shot in a competition. Every time at the range I load variable round counts and try to clock them in head while shooting. Now I find myself subconsciously counting round while watching tv or movie action. It's amazing how many round some of them can take without changing mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRJACKET Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I also get a kick out of how many times people in the movies rack their slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsand Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yep I still can't count. Watch stage 6 supposed to be 3 shots per target.... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
