Competition Ready or A Bad Day on the Bucket!
Well, the 2019 season is about to begin. Saturday is the Winter Range Arizona Jackpot Shoot soon to be followed by the season's titled matches. Do not be dishearten if you have a rough go of it for a bit. Remember to shoot the system. Everyone draws a better shooter on occasion or loses focus for a time. Persevere. The system is progressive. You train to get progressively better. You will improve as the day or event goes on. While others get frustrated, you will shoot better and better.
You can tune yourself up for events. Get competition ready. One of the best ways to do that is several days before the event have a bad day on the bucket. Shoot 50 rounds on the bucket, by yourself, no light. Take away the stress of hitting. Take away the stress of the timer. Just draw and fire. Draw as quick as you can. Your natural ability will come forth. Those perfect draws!
Think about what this is doing. You are finalizing your draw without the stress of hitting, without the stress of the light, just draw and fire. At the same time you are chunking data. A bad day on the bucket is better than a good day on the bucket. You are putting into your subconscious how to make those small incremental changes that lead you to the light. For Alleluia shooters, 80% is just average because we walk our hits to the light. If we miss the guess, then it is 3 on the plate and sit down. Well, I guess that is only 75%, but it will have to do.
For some of you, you will be winning events. For others, you will be rising in the standings to the level of your gunfighter rating. But for all of you, your opponents will know they have been in a gunfight. They will realize they are not going get by you by chance. In my last event I was cruises along in the shoot-offs until I ran into another Alleluia shooter. We were just shooting average (80% is just average) but he was quicker so I sat down. It was fun, but I will get him next time!
"Bring me another me another shooter!"
