Been shooting (again) for a couple of years now, & soon decided to concentrate on shooting skeet, with an occassional club sporting shoot once a month. Cutting a long story short, worked hard and made some progress with the skeet, got into A class, and had the good fortune to get my one and only hundred straight in a major competition. In the meantime, my sporting shooting got worse and worse, which I put down to shooting so much skeet, and whilst I was shooting skeet well. wasn't bothered too much by the poor sporting results.However, ever since the 100 straight my form has plummetted, really struggling to get even 25 straight. In addition, my sporting shooting has hit an all time low, mojo has definitely disappeared. The last three months have been really dificult, severe lack of form leading to lack of confidence, and a downward spiral in performance.I appreciate that we all have ups and downs in form, and I'm sure in the long term it'll all sort itself out. But how do you cope? Do you practise more/less? See a coach? or maybe have a break? I guess we're all different, but would be interested to see how common this is, and what strategies you employ.
