Had a bit of fun with this a while ago - was always shooting low, finally realised I was panicking when I got close to centre hence releasing early. I set myself the task of coming onto centre and not letting go - then coming down - do this twice then shoot on the third - boy did I twitch for a while when I came onto the centre - mind says no body says go !

It took a while but now I can come onto centre and only release if I want to, scores have gone up - still get the odd twitch but I make sure I always come down if that happens. Talking to a couple of juniors in our club that seemed to have a race shooting an end, told them to hold on the centre for a count of two and then decide if they want to release - slows them down and helps them stay on centre for a concious shot and not just let fly and hope. Dont know it it will help them not get this but they are shooting better groups now !

Answer to question - open conversation is always best on these kind of things - how else do you learn and benefit from others experience?
