Shooter’s Say-so

"The website has introduced many new and novel concepts that made sense and gives us a fair idea of sir’s knowledge and dedication. The blogs were also a delight to read and one cannot help but read them over and over again."

" Through his website, and forum/blog, he has presented the entire technique of Pistol-Shooting in an extremely simplified, systematic, scientific manner, with detailed description and information of each fragmented component which when ‘defragmented’ or ‘assembled’ gives a lucid & an almost magical picture of the correct technique of shooting the ‘Perfect Shot’.”

Hello friends,

In the last video, we saw what a shooter thinks, during the shot and what he thinks between one shot and the other shot, which helps him to shoot groups tight groups of 100 out of 100 series

This is the thought process as compared to the Level 6 type shooter and if you have noticed that the Red Dot, the thought pattern is very focused, very, very small concentric Circle as compared to the Level 6 shooter who shoots 86 out of 100. please see how wide his pattern of thought is.

What is the difference between the level one shooter and the level 6 shooter?
I have asked this question to many shooters when they are sitting down after they have fired the shot and they’re taking rest between one series and the next series.When I asked them, these are the answers; what are you thinking now? He said “Sir, I’m thinking about my brother who’s coming home in the evening by train.”

This is what he is thinking, when he is sitting down at the firing point, during his practice session. His thoughts are out of the shooting ring.Another Shooter’s answer was something like this; I said what are you thinking? (this is the level 6 type shooter) “ Uh sir, I’ve been thinking that uh whether there is enough petrol in my bike so that I can reach home after I finish my training”.

Once again, you see, his thought are outside the shooting range, it’s not in the shooting range.When I asked the third fellow, and mind you, these are real-time examples; he said
“Sir, I was thinking that I must go back home quickly because I have college assignments to complete so I’m thinking of how quickly I can finish my shooting so I can reach on time.Again this fellow; his thoughts are also out of the shooting range, this is a level 6 type of shooter, who shoots 86. out of 100, in a series, below 90.

What I want you to do is to stop and examine yourself. Are you a level 6 type shooter? When you are practicing, do you also think of thoughts that have got nothing to do with your shooting?Compare this with the level one shooter who shoots groups of 100. His thought pattern is very, very narrow. He is only thinking of what he is going to do in the next shot, and during the shot, he is only observing what he has visualized.

There are no other thoughts, so when he comes to the firing point, once he enters the shooting range, till he comes to the firing point till the time he leaves the firing point after his practice session or match, the only thoughts that he is thinking, is about his technique, when the sights come into the aiming area? and how the trigger is executed smoothly continuously before, during and after the shot is fired.This is all that he is visualizing, he thinks of nothing else and that’s why his mental focus is so sharp, he shoots a group of 100 out of 100.

Compare this with this level 6 shooter, when he’s sitting down, his thoughts are outside the shooting range; it could be anything. So, when he gets up to shoot, his mind is all scattered, and there’s no surprise that he shoots uh anything around 86 or 85 out of 100. because his thought pattern is so wide, very wide compare this with the level 6 shooter’s thought pattern and mental focus with the mental focus of a level 1 shooter.

I want you to think about what you are doing when you step onto the shooting lane. Do you think, like a level 6 type shooter? Or are you a level 1 type of shooter?In the next video, we will discuss level 5, level 4, level 3, and level 2 shooters and how we are going to go from Level 6 to level 1. Till then do not hesitate to ask me any doubts, hit the like button, share this video, subscribe to my channel, and happy shooting. Good day.
