Frustrated by my poor shooting!

While I can't vouch for every one of them, Frankie has top shelf equipment....possibly too many, if that's a thing. Lol!

It can help to focus on one.

"Beware the man with only one rifle. Chances are, he knows what he's doing with it."
Yeah , I can track when I started improving to when I started shooting 1 rifle and not messing with the load between matches. Get it tuned and shoot the same rifle and load the rest of the year and see where you are then.
 
The paint node is real, I've personally experienced it.
I hope I can endure, the rifle I picked up last fall and it is definitely not my color :(, wanting to see how I do with it before investing in a new color for it.

Frankie,
I need to. I am slow getting started this year. Got a different rifle last fall (here on the forum) and not quite have the load just where I would like it. Probably all the more reason to shoot a match and have a good eval of how it performs. It is a 6PPC so I am out of my comfort zone.

A personal problem is being too negative.
There is value in being critical, but don’t dwell on it. Make a bad shot and most people start to over ANALyze what they did wrong. Pulled instead of pressed the trigger, butt cheeks were too tight, forgot to breathe. Concentrating on the negative.
Then when we do something right, it’s a rush to the next shot. No time spent remembering the right feeling.

That’s backwards. Make a good shot and replay that over and over. How did the finger feel on trigger when it was right?

Bow hunting is the perfect example. You have a perfect heart shot lined up with a tree branch in the line of sight, but not the flight path. The mind flips back and forth between the branch and heart. Your last thought, branch or heart, is where the arrow goes. It’s a minor difference, hit the heart, don’t hit the branch. One is a positive thought, the other negative.

This book has helped me. I go back to it often, with much of it highlighted. It is a quick read and easily put into practice......Best Of Luck....( luck really does have very little to do with it )

The problem in between the ears.......We ALL have great equipment. It can be easily fixed with a little adjustment to the ol' Grey Matter.

Regards
Rick
