[CINDERS]

Reflecting back on your early days of shooting I can remember buying a Beretta 56E U/O Skeet gun as my SKB semi auto was no good for skeet with a full choke any way I thought the open chokes and shorter barrels would have me smacking them out of the sky not so I was in the low 16's most of the time and got very frustrated & down hearted as a 16 y/o.
Till a gunshop friend spoke to me about relaxing and to move on from the missed shot as that was always in the back of my head will I miss the next bird and whilst possibles were few and far between I at least averaged in the 20's +- afterwards.

The break of the shot should be a total surprise to the shooter when the picture looks perfect and all is in unison with your breathing, positioning and mental resilience, look I lose shots from sheer lack of well just not concentrating hard enough I do not shoot for sheep stations but pleasure and thats the way to relax is enjoy the pleasure, although I still win shoots from time to time when I grind down to it.
Once the screws start winding in and clamping down on you all your breathing, heart rate that little niggle from being uncomfortable gets you going and magnifies making a small bump look like as vertical wall its very easy to say move on from a poor shot but these are young shooters and we have all been there..........
Hey maybe Macca's for fries and a Burger for being unbeaten a team building relaxing afternoon on a w/end?
