After shooting a great (for me) SF score (see postal league forum :)

Bullseye offered this advice..

I racked my brain to try and remember, and today I was reading an article http://www.lasc.us/FryxellCrackShot.htm describing exactly what I was trying to remember!

Separating the trigger finger from the hand....

I remember clearly now, making sure there was independent movement of my trigger finger during firing...

Just my thoughts....

Keeping a shooter's diary is a good way to remember the events that led to success. It is a great way to get into the shooting frame of mind prior to a match. It will build confidence and help you see how you've improved over time.

Another way to track performance is to use a Bullseye Pistol score (data) book. Record your scores, even if you just set up an Excel spread sheet for each of the 4 bullseye scores. That's right, I said four. They are: Slow Fire, Timed Fire, Rapid fire, and Match Aggregate. This is the typical score sheet found in my scorebook.

The left side of the form is for individual strings: slow, timed, and rapid. Typically a 900 match is two strings of each discipline tied in with a full NMC. That's what is on the right side of the page the NMC scores.

Save the image and print them out to make some for yourself, if you like.
