Target panic?
« on: June 17, 2012, 10:23:00 PM »
Hey gang thought I would share with you my interesting experiences. I have a block foam target that I was practicing on and well I shoot pretty darn inconsistent. All over the place some days. Then I order myself some judos and pretty consistently get the results you see in my pics when shooting small recycling targets. You think I am just overthinking the shot when going for that "bullseye"?

Don't think I would jump to the conclusion of the dreaded target panic.  My mind gets bored shooting block targets.  Nothing like a tennis ball in the woods.

"Aim small, miss small". Pick a small spot on your block target, like you are doing on your recycling targets, and watch your groups shrink.

Pictures look fine. I shoot animal targets better than I shoot dots. I love roving/stump shooting.  Looks like the same is true for you.

ok no idea why photobucket will resize the one but not the other...uploaded them both as 640 x 480

Anyways, yeah I hear what your saying and I think shooting these smaller targets is helping me to pick those small spots. Haven't bothered seeing if I am any better on the block yet. Having too much fun crushing my recycling  :)

I hate shooting bag targets. Dots  stink.  I shoot 3D objects much better.....stumping and animals

I think that lots of times shooters get a bit stale shooting at large targets, myself included. For myself, the temptation to worry more about form is almost a precondition when shooting at my large backyard target, since most of my shots in my backyard are shots when I am working on aspects of my form, thinking about aspects of one's form detracts from aiming at a specific tiny thing more often than not. Now, if I can get a trusting buddy with a pocket full of change to toss it across that large double target it becomes a totally different deal.
