Self-Correction: The Big Step
Until every shot you take is first a prediction of when where and how you are about to break the next target, and then the shot mirrors that prediction, you are not building long-term memory or skill! What you see when shooting a moving target all happens in the periphery, and everything you are aware of in the periphery is 300 milliseconds behind real-time. This is why matching gun speed is so critical. When the ... Read more…
Sight Picture and Speed
There are two parts to every shot: sight picture and speed. It can be that simple at first. But, as you get more advanced, the routine you follow becomes more crucial. As you continue on your journey with this system, remember that the more you can visualize a shot coming together, the easier it is for the brain to understand what you are asking it to do. Remember, at first, when you are working on what your perce... Read more…
We See It Every Day
So, when I am shooting well, things really look the same to me, and everything is in slow motion like the ShotKam videos in our Knowledge Vault! The futility of trying to see what someone else sees comes from those who are looking for the magic bullet. News flash: THERE AINT NO MAGIC BULLET! What you see must evolve so the brain understands what about the visual data is confusing or nonessential to the visual prog... Read more…
Keep the Barrel in the Periphery
Keep the barrel in the periphery! The barrel is always fuzzy - never in focus - as it has a place on the edge of your vision. A common problem I see all the time is the gun starts in the edge of vision, but as the target is coming to the gun, the vision shifts from 95 percent on the gun and 5 percent on target to more like 70 percent target and 30 percent gun. The more attention you give the gun, the less you hav... Read more…
Oh, To Know Then What We Know Now!
As I said in an earlier post, when I am shooting well and really in sync with the targets, everything looks almost the same and seems to be moving in slow motion. The mental pictures just come as a flashback when viewing the look targets. It just happens and it really feels great. I just don’t have the stamina that I used to have, so I get tired sooner than I used to. I really have to blink and leave my eyes closed... Read more…
