Hi all,
I seem to have been going through a rough patch over the last few weeks with iffy scores which has led to a bit of a dip in confidence. I can't shoot tomorrow unfortunatly so went for 100 bird sporting practice at Doveridge today and often found myself walking onto the stand thinking I wouldn't hit anything at all and didn't in a lot of cases.
I'm my own worst enemy in many respects as I'm always fanying about with different shells, chokes (and guns) none of which help I know, but there have been times just recently where it almost feels like I've forgotten how to shoot?? I know it's not the equipment and the problem's in my head but I'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions to get beyond it?
I'm wondering if I should maybe focus on some skeet type routines for a few weeks just to get my eye back in and some ryhthm going again? I'm not in any way suggesting skeet is an easy option just thinking the discipline and structure (not to mention seeing a few targets break again) might get me back on track again?
It feels like I'm going backwards and in a bit of a spiral at the moment, the worse I shoot the harder I try (measuring lead and over thinking) and the worse I shoot.
Thanks all in advance.
