I shot 574 today. Ever since I shot that 583 I have been putting pressure on myself to do it again, so I have been telling myself since Wednesday that I can only shoot as good as I can do at the time, score means nothing, as long as I execute perfect technique each time then whatever the score is is what I have to settle for.

It worked well, 96, 98, 96 (290), 96, 98..... hey look if I do another 96 I'll be back at 580...... 45, 45 (284). Made mistakes all over the place, yanking the trigger and looking at the targets. I started thinking, make it good, and rushed it.

I need to reprogram my mind. Its amazing to realise just how much concentration is needed and what little things can change your whole mental process.
