    That's perfect Ian, we coach elite rifle shooters, but the technique is still the same with pistol, and we say its 40 or 60 individual shots, 60 individual matches. What has gone, has gone, until you can find a way to return the shot and heal the hole, just forget it, move on emotionless, and start the process to build the next perfect shot.

    But, follow through is a critical aspect, a good technique is to concentrate on the follow through "with" the shot and concentrate on getting the follow through as tight as possible, maintain the aim and the hold.

    I had a coaching master class from "probably" the top coach in the world when he was coaching my wife, using life fire and a Scatt, he said, "I care not a jot where the shot goes, but I want to see a tight follow through (red trace) on the scatt". Her hold visibly tightened! What he had done was take the "stress" out of the shot, but of course you can't have a tight hold on the follow through with out one before, so it was a form of brain tricking.

    Its a technique I use a lot now.

    Have Fun.

    I am certain Ian will already be making full use of this technique as he is certainly has a very tight hold

    And so open a flood gate for sarcastic comments. Not that Ive ever lowered myself to sarcasm.

    Tis true - I know the after shot, or follow through, is just as important as the hold, grip, trigger squeeze etc. but knowing it and doing it are to different things. Even the threat of one of NORIs finest on the back on my bone dome only has a temporary effect.

    This is certainly something I have noticed over the years as being one of your strongest points - and something I admire greatly

    I am more accurate with my shooting than I am with my words.

    I have discovered that shooting 50s is expensive because I have to buy everyone a brew so this year Ive shot 49s.
