Head Game

My wife and I were on our way to one of our granddaughter’s soccer games one recent Saturday.

I’m reading a non-Bullseye book that has, nonetheless, a lot to say about how we succeed or fail at many aspects that directly contribute to our performance at the firing line.

Some days start good and then go bad. Others start bad and stay that way.

Shooters learn Bullseye much the same way they do any other sport.

Inspiration is a great motivator. I’ve shot Bullseye at a lot of clubs around the US and, in every case, there were better shooters than myself on the line.

I’ve made some good progress this year. In my 2006 New Year’s resolution I said that “it will be nice to climb out of the Marksman ranks this year” and, effective 05/23/2006, I formally started competing in the Sharpshooter classification as per the NRA.

I tried a slight modification to the approach I recently wrote about.

In the movie, Bull Durham, Tim Robbin’s character discovers that when he doesn’t think, he pitches better – a lot better.
