Things have been hectic and cold. Not conducive to shooting or the mental aspects of shooting. Keeping the woodstove going and cars running is a process in and of itself when the high of the DAY is -2F.
I was able to bring a new shooter to match #8 (1/22/13) but found that effort took me completely off my game. Forgot spotting scope and in general was distracted. Or, that is my excuse. I even practiced some and thought I learned a few things. Those things being, split finger may fatique for 60 shots but yeilds better net results than a fist. Or so the data shows. Fist shooting will be put off to another time. Next, work at pushing the left hip up to the left elbow and make more "positive contact" with hip to elbow. Seems to help stability. Third, a wider leg stance seems to reduce verticle wobble. All those great learnings still netted a disaster. My head simply was not there.
Match #9 (1/29/13) I went solo and focused on trying things again. Things went better except I seem to have some tendency to quiver just as I release the shot. Not sure if it is subconscious or my effort to make the sight picture that "tiny bit better". Net result is some stupid 7 or worse one 6! If I could get it so my bad shots are 8s, I would be happy. It seemed when I really worked on NPA and taking good shots, I could feel the 10 when the "quiver" stayed away. Practice I think is the word of the day. 91 was my best target of the year and it had one 7 and three 10x, rest were 9s
