I might have a solution for this.... just need to figure out some technical.Agreed Newbie, i think its to stop derailing but would be good to be able to lock it to anyone apart from original poster or admin. Just leave likes available. I am going to do a "Fuzrat, a journey into a new discipline" thread for my foray into skeet and would be nice to keep it as a straight blog type post without having to start a new thread each week
Fuz your there already h1 and l7 are bread and butter shots concentrate and youll hit them practise the shot off the range in your head. Its when your missing station 4 pairs that's where the wheels come off@p1 im only just focusing on skeet (i have shot 25 straight in practice though) for me if i miss H1 or L7 its always wrong hold point. Too high on 1 and too low on 7 leading to a slash through.
I was to focused on chasing averages last year Gav and it all went tits up .. I've now learnt to just go out and shoot with good company and enjoy the course, if I have a bad stand ( which I do ) I just move on to the next and except that what ever will be will be .I agree totally with Clever and Ed, usually 3-4 silly errors that I threw away through poor mount , rushing not looking at the menu etc then if my Zen like state of mind carries me foward to the end of the shoot, I shoot around my average. Other targets lost due to lack of experience
focusing on class averages, numbers or "i should be better than this" ends in disaster

Thanks for that. Ouchy for ESK. 88.8 needed to get into B. Think my target of clearing a round of 25 is more achievable .. Some lessons and a lot more practice required.See them..https://www.cpsa.co.uk/userfiles/file/CPSA%20Class%20Bandings%20Issue%2043.pdf
Ian, just don't shoot on those days mate! Simples.... k:Agree with ed and clever its not your score that matters is its your performance on the day compared to the others that matters. Shooting trap on a windy winter day with hard targets can leave you demoralized until you see the score board and realise you actually shot well. Trouble is it really hurts your averages too shoot on such days.
There are two sides to it. How you really shot (compared to all the others) is the one that matters 'in your soul'. However, the CPSA only know scores when it comes to grading you..Ian, just don't shoot on those days mate! Simples.... k:
I bet the end results would still be similar to now so long a you take a big enough sample and not just 2-3 shoots.This is why I believe you should be graded by how far down the list you are, not the number of clays hit.
They are actually, having had a fairly good look. The present system ain't that bad on a season long basis..I bet the end results would still be similar to now so long a you take a big enough sample and not just 2-3 shoots.
I know Pal but I just need to pull the triggerIan, just don't shoot on those days mate! Simples.... k:
Looking at your CPSA number, you haven't been at it very long. Like you, i do lots of grounds. I found that after 5+ years, my averages took a step forward. It wasn't that I put in much higher best scores; more that I stopped having so many low ones. Experience plugs a lot of holes rather than produces genius.I'm rather stagnant, floating around in the middle of A Class.
I think I could get into AA but only by concentrating on two or three grounds (like many do )
I try to vary the grounds as much as possible and shoot the tougher ones if I can, but progress is desperately slow. <_<
No, the cunning plan is buy your Perazzi in 2007 when they were half what they are now.. Then shoot lots of inexpensive shells.Does it come free with a Perazzi?
