Last nite I shot really bad for me. The scenario is .22 with red dot scope.at 50 ft which i generally shoot at least in the 270's and over 280 on the good days. I shot a 253 last nite and it's enough to make this guy wanna sell off the gun and take up ohh, tiddly winks or something. So In my warmup of 2 slow fire and 1 rapid fire everything was looking fairly good, or no worse than usual and the rounds were centered around the bull with even a few in on all targets. Now for the match I shoot my slow. Everything feels good but I'm not spotting it, trying to avoid match jitters and frustration. I even felt a few that HAD to be in or very close. When i pull the target in everything is off to the right and I'm looking at what turned out to be a 79. I never shoot that bad. :banghead:
So, anyone want to give me a hint as to whats going wrong. I shoot very well in practice but always seem to mess up when it's match time. I know about jitters and match pressure but don't feel I was affected by this last night, I felt very relaxed and at ease, at least on the slow fire, but after seeing that target you know i was uhhh, a little frustrated. I did get 7 bulls 2-nines and one off in the netherlands on the rapid. which we all laughed about pretty good. Imagine, one round the difference between a 98 and an 88...
