you probably shot better in the none reg because you were more relaxed and had no stress. There it a fine line between determination to win, concentration etc and putting to much pressure on yourself and trying to hard. From my personal experience trying to hard is a definite problem and will make me tense which effects a nice smooth swing and also makes you hang on to the shot trying to see a shot picture and ensure a hit.I am in the middle of teh above comments, but some of that is down to my in-experience possibly.
I shoot registered comps, and shoot them seriously with others who are all better than me, and who are slowly dragging me upwards with word of advice.
But like yesterday, I went and shot a non registered shoot on my own and had a thoroughly enjoyable time and managed to hit a decent score for me.
Maybe you just need to change the habbits you have got into, and/or the people whom you shoot with. I know that there are 3 individuals who when they arrive to shoot and join the group I will shoot poorly.
Just keep trying and trying hard, am sure the light at the end of teh tunnel is on for you
IMO you must enter a comp or indeed even practice with a relaxed and confident mind. One must also live in the moment and not ponder on what was or what could be.
This is very very difficult to achieve which is presumably what the phsyco coaches are for.
Many of us can shoot well few of us have the mental capacity to win consistently that is what separates mere mortals from the super human shooters on the world cup stage. That and of course the money and time to practice daily.
