This is my second season of indoor .22 bullseye league - I've only had my pistol permit for a year and a half. I'm using a Ruger Mk III 22/45 with a red dot sighting device.
Over the course of this season I've been talking to people and practicing. Specifically things like locking the elbow and wrist, only moving the shoulder. Oh, and trigger pull. I can say with pride that every now and then I am completely surprised when the thing goes off.
Last week I scored a personal best (a 257, I've been averaging 230-235 this year) on round 2 of 2 after shooting well (241) on my first match. What I did was to actually be thinking of non-shooting related things other than "Is my sight on target? If so, increase trigger pressure."
Does anyone else have success with this? Thinking of other things to take your mind off of all but the absolutely necessary elements of shooting? Or am I just some whacked out nutjob?
