Viggen Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Shoot a couple of matches - a little Revolver, a little Production, maybe even a Limited match. Buy bullets if prices go down to match the rest of the economy. Drink more, run less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket35 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Main Goal: Balance my Mental Management System. CONSCIOUS (thoughts) 1. Set tangible goals 2. Positive Reinforcement • Visualize myself as a Champion. • If the stage is good- say “That was just like me” and replay it in my mind. • If the stage was bad- start mental rehearsing the next stage immediately. • Never talk about my or others’ mistakes. 3. Mental Rehearsal • Rehearse shooting the match by shooting exceptionally well. • Run a mental program before each stage several times. • Focus on follow through and stop trying to make up for errors by shooting faster than my capabilities. SUBCONSCIOUS (skills) 1. Train 4-5 times a week (Dryfire/Livefire). • The day before- only do mental rehearsals. • Study COF’s if available to become as familiar with each stage and it’s specifics as if I wrote them myself. 2. When you are training, be all there. • Make it count as if shooting a match. 3. Track performance analysis. • Find my weaknesses and make them strengths. • Know my zero and capabilities. • Eliminate trying, rushing and not trusting my speed. • Keep a diary to track my progress. SELF-IMAGE (habits and attitudes) 1. Identify my habits and attitudes that need to change. • Avoid bad attitudes. • Eliminate reinforcing mistakes by giving them improper attention. • Again- Never talk about mistakes with others. 2. Set-up a new self-image this is in direct conflict of my old one. • Reinforce my successes in my diary and tracking spreadsheets. • Forget any errors and immediately move on to the new task at hand. • Hold positive thoughts about myself and others. 4. Apply a Directive Affirmation • I cause my Conscious, Subconscious and Self-Image to move toward being in balance, thereby increasing my performance without frustration. I am a Champion!

Clyde Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Break the 85% barrier in Production with my Beloved P7.... and Time to do the same in Single Stack....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmwater Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) I want to make B in Production. I would love to get lucky and win a club match for my division. (I have won a stage before, but I am not very consistent). I would like to shoot a GSSF shoot this year just to have tried it. I plan to practice at least three times a week, at least one of which will be dryfire. Uh, I meant 1 of which will be livefire.................

fiddler Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 As a new shooter my first season goals are modest: To have fun To learn the mechanics of the game To relax during the matches and, most importantly, to help my kid do all of the above too.

nashvillebill Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I hope to slow down just enough to not make bone-head mistakes. After further consideration and discussing this notion with one of my local mentors I would like to change my stated goal. It was pointed out to me that the brain does not measure or register time, therefore speeding up or slowing down is not a goal but a result of my actions. So my goals would be feel the trigger as I get on target, see the sights as the shot breaks, know where I'm going when I move my feet and guide the reload rather than throw it. Basically, anchor the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
