As an addition to ignorant thread consider this carefuly then answer, I will keep mine until later, this I think could be interesting.

1 . What do you now know or have learned and would like to keep in your mind as you consider it essential

2 . What do you now wish you had never known about and wish you could erase it from your mind

 
1. The way to actually achieve shooting one target at a time in a round (and it sure isn't just telling yourself to do it).
2. I can sometimes measure the lead or aim at it and still hit the target.

1. Sight pictures - The ability to put the correct lead on a target

2. The differences between cheap cartidges and expensive cartridges.  :biggrin:

 
1. Wait still till you see the target. Use the best cartridge you can.

2. Don't jump the target. Don't lift your head. (Both of which I can no longer tell myself before shouting Paaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwlllll or I do just that.

Like a good many other trap shooters I was taught shotgun initially by a very good instructor, but in the end I almost had to "un learn" much of what I learned because trap is almost a different animal to most other forms of shotgun shooting! It is more about instinct and reflexes than cold calculation. Well it seems like that to me!

 
In terms of shooting......

These are easy questions for me to answer, as even though I'm not from Barcelona, I know nothing  :crazy:   

Therefore I have learnt nothing I wish to remember, and remember nothing I wish to forget. Ignorance is indeed bliss  :sarcastic:

1 . The fact that it is essential to attain absolute visual target lock.

2 . The need to compose ones self as part of pre shot routine, as before I knew I had to I didnt know I didnt, so I already did, thus I dont need to know that I have or havent because I do anyway I just dont know it......eh ?

It makes perfect sense mate, I know because I proof read it. :)

Reminds me of this;

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know.

There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know.

But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

makes sense to me, very good.

 
1.  Advice is usually worth what you pay for it

1.  You only have one opportunity to shoot a target.

2.  The fate of the last/previous target
