benos Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 At 15 and 25, I visualized a stopped, centered sight alignment, with the sights primary. At 5 and 7, I saw more of "all of everything." More like the sights, not necessarily primary, pointed into the A box. be To give folks a chance to actually visualize the 4 distances, you might edit your post like this: If I ask, what do you need to see at 5, 7, 15 and 25 yds to get an A hit and asked you to visualize it (pause and visualize all 4 distances before reading on... how many here just had an image of a perfect sight picture on the center of an A zone?

Sam Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Time is treachery. I'm sitting here typing. Occasionally, I'll pick up a cup of hot coffee and take a sip. No hurry......... What would happen if I tried to pick up that cup of hot coffee and take a sip and set it back on the desk as fast a humanly possible, faster than any other Limited Master on the forum today? It sounds crazy, but that was pretty close to my mindset for many years when I started shooting a stage. I had to worry about the other competitor and how fast he or she was going to burn the stage. I was trapping myself in either the recent past or the near future, total insanity. I don't mean to imply that I have this issue totally mastered, it still wants to writhe into my psyche. By remaining attentive to the facts, I notice much more, my sights, the feel of the ground under my feet, targets appearing before me, the smell of gunpowder, my mind doesn't wonder.

Duane Thomas Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 my mind doesn't wonder Is this a typo or a profundity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Is this a typo or a profundity? Hmmm...the letter A is a long way from the letter O on my keyboard. Unless Sam can't spell, I'll bet he got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Surfer Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) My problem lately seems to be the opposite. Aiming TOO MUCH at targets at that distance. Which is basically the same thing.... For me its the targets with the side of the targets covered with hard cover(Only the A Zone). If the targets were all full I can buzz by the with A hits but cover the outsides and I tend to pull it into the hard cover if not slowing.

38supPat Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Then you are probably looking at the hard cover, the gun will go where the eyes look. Focus on the A zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Surfer Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Then you are probably looking at the hard cover, the gun will go where the eyes look. Focus on the A zone. LOL! Maybe thats why I can shoot headshots with no problem. Next time I'll try zoning out the hard cover and just call my shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's not hard cover, just an area that doesn't exist, would you have as much trouble if they just cut those parts of the target off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, then it would be one Loooong head. Maybe I'll go visit the "Zen" forum . Edited November 25, 2008 by Silver_Surfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Is this a typo or a profundity? It's not a typo, Duane. But, maybe it is a bad pun. A wandering mind, to me, implies aimlessness. (Oh no, another bad pun?) While a wondering mind would be busy questioning, instead of simply observing the facts and acting upon them. Sometimes that voice that questions, comments, speculates, and then judges, is a shooters worst enemy. Like Larry says, "Gitt'er done!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'd like to read that tennis book sometime, Flex. I was actually thinking of a quote from an ancient text. "for he who doubts is like the wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
