The awareness surely will have to be subconscious for it to work properly - I guess that's what you mean when you said you "forgot" about it. That learned "form" probably doesn't really perfect itself with once a week shooting?

BTW wasn't picking on you about the clicker technique - we know T does it differently, perhaps not the way conventional wisdom would recommend.

It seems to work.. In some ways T's maintained her form / style and not changed it to suit the clicker (I bet she could shoot the same scores with or without it) which is maybe the right thing to have done? I think the clicker "rules" lots of us, but maybe not T??

On the other hand - maybe a plateau has been reached?

Confusing this!
hey steve

practice is indeed an issue too. aint been shooting as much recently and well its shown.
the more i can get to work on it the more i can get towards forgetting it (if you get what i mean).

didnt mind your example, but i do agree T is slightly different. like with many things there is no right way to do it for eveyone and i think T shoots very well using the style she does.
as for plateau? maybe. it could be one of those patches people go through but if im being honest i think the desire has gone abit. its always easier to shoot when your head+heart are in it. hope im wrong though as i would like to see her shooting progress further - she more than capable of it.
