It would assume a person just jumps from being a raw beginner to having perfect technique... and that at no time in this 18 month stretch of shooting every day did they put in any flaws into their technique - which they wouldnt even know if they were doing so anyway, because they are by themselves with no coach...

Which... is total rubbish...

18 months... a single person shooting every day from beginner... no coach = going to end up practising a flawed technique every day = not going to make GB

just because you can't do it .. no need to get uppetty..lol

the advisor to this person was my Dad, by the way

i disagree i still say if you shoot permanently you will become the best.

if your shooting that much does it matter if your form isn't perfect, does it matter if you have a crap release.
you will figure it out.
you will put them in the middle.


as long as that release is the same, as long as you can read the conditions..
