Haven't made any updates in a long time now.

Still been practicing about 1.5x a week, but progress as slowed. I'm becoming a better shooter but results aren't showing on my targets. My recoil management has gotten a lot better and so has my rhythm when shooting. The way I'm standing as I picked up a habit if tilting my head down has been fixed. Also been working on getting myself to pull the trigger once I acquire my target instead of stalling thinking I'm not ready. A lot of mental barriers and subtle things.

I've also been on a bit of a slump as I wasn't able to land shots right on top of each other for the past couple weeks and got frustrated. Knowing that I'm getting better yet results look worse have been borderline depressing.

Today I made a major breakthrough with my results!



After I got fed up, I stopped thinking so much and got myself much more relaxed. Fired a couple rounds with my trigger hand and figured being very very relaxed but the pulls were deliberate. Above is 10 shots from 15 yards. Normally I'd land 5 shots very well grouped and get 5 others that aren't so tight which means I was off focus 50% of the time (was much worse recent and can see that in groupings on the right edge of pic). Consistently did better than that today too.

Just really happy with myself and wanted to share!

Cool. So are you moving toward a faster instinctive shooting style now or just spending less time dealing with fatigue and compensation between rounds?

Mentally breaking down the barrier of doubting my abilities and pulling the trigger once the sight is aligned with the target. No second guesses. Sounds like instinctive style, but I have to be relaxed yet deliberate at the same time.

I've been resetting my strings of fire once I feel my elbows getting raised when fatigue kicks in for the past few weeks. So many subtle details I've been working on at once.
