I think I've got this down - I do not dwell on a bad shot. (after watching guys at the range have a tantrum when they shoot a 7)
But I will try the "every shot is a dead center bull". I like how that sounds.
Two of the biggest contributors to my progress so far are:
1) don't move your feet until the target is finished. (I was dancing all over the place.....newbie thing I suspect)
2) don't think about the shot per se, think about the components, in order, that make up the shot. (this was literally huge!!)
Still trying to wrap my head around Pryor's "the thinking mind vs. the trusting mind". That may take a while.
Thanks for the advice.
