Robin, thanks for taking the time to write that. I'm not shooting anywhere the level of the chap you were coaching, but recently I've joined a club which has a 10m range. I've been practising standing shots as part of my routine and am slowly managing to improve on this position. At a recent shoot I was joint first on my class, and won the shoot-off by getting both the standing shots.

In HFT the standing and kneeling shots are commonly the most missed, and the most grumbled about. Now when I approach one my mindset is very different. This is a free point for me that other people will drop.

On a slightly different note I have a friend who races mountain bikes. As part of his training he rides bmx, dirt jumps, road bike and downhill, then races enduro. All training is good training
