So, let’s talk a little bit about how we practiced the three times we had time to practice leading up to going to the actual tournament.
In our research, we have determined that when we shoot different shots (especially in sporting) many shooters think that they are using the same circuit – just with different timing and speed. But once again, research has proven that they are not.
Upon viewing each shot in a pair on each station, your brain in a matter of seconds must choose a beginning, middle and an ending from its inventory of circuits you have trained in practice and put them together synchronously in seconds. This is called recall.
Our experience is that most shooters go out and shoot the course. If they had difficulty on a station, they’ll go back and work on specific shots without recalling in detail how and where they want to hit each target in each pair. This is called blocked practice.
