I have to think that, like me, most of us have our good days and our bad days. My practice sessions have gotten much shorter these days because I know when it's no use to continue. Other days all is so good I just get up and walk away. I started to practice a little on Monday and I sat down on the bum bag and propped the TX on my knee pad. I picked a stray pellet hole out at my 25 m paper and fired. I couldn't see any change, so I tried again. I thought that the hole might be bigger but wasn't sure. After 5 shots, and now wondering if I was totally off the world bad, I picked a spot .5" away and shot. A new hole appeared right where I had aimed. It was time to move out to 50 m, where I can really see my shortcomings. Not a super group, but good enough to know my practice was over for the day. I used to shoot 20,000 pellets a year, minimum, but, now I just shoot enough to keep me in tune. I know the guns are ready, if I'm up to their level.
