| Sighters Why is it that when you shoot a round your best arrows more often than not are your sighters. Had our club competition round this morning, shooting on the same target as Shawasha where he got 3 10s, 2 9s and an 8 not quite on the edge of the nine line. This happens so often, does anyone else find this.  | |||||||||||

| RE: Sighters All too often, all too often.  Either sighters, or getting sight marks at the club on Friday nights. Come the shoot, how about 1MMMMM , 1st end at Abbeydale this morning. Really had to work to set a new PB, managed it by 4 points.  Mick

| RE: Sighters I agree I am sure it has something to do with concentration and stress. I feel that I am a little more relaxed when shooting sighters and this seems to make me have better form. Probably as there is no scoring. Then when I start shooting I am more tense and the form dips a little. I need to concentrate a lot more on my cheklist. Once I hold the draw a little longer and concentrate on the checklist I start to get near my sighters. ?????????? | |||||||||||

| RE: Sighters Yes we all agreed this morning that the pressure and stress factor didn't come in whilst shooting sighters but once the round starts proper, well you know what I am saying. | |||||||||||

| RE: Sighters I have to agree - it happens so often, and especially indoors shooting Portsmouths. The one time I broke the rule was at a comp earlier this year, when all my sighters at 80yds missed! Fortunately I started hitting the target when scoring started... I never did work that one out... Kev | |||||||||||||

| RE: Sighters Every time! And, every time, I find myself thinking "I can actually do this! Perhaps this is when my scores start to improve again!" and I get excited, and, blow me, off they go again. Does anyone know a decent supplier of an alomst zen-like calm? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| RE: Sighters I think when you shoot your sighters you feel no pressure, so you are more relaxed and have a clearer mind. When the scoring starts people tense up and fill their head with "I need a 10!!" I think its a mental problem, but can be made to go away with some training. </p> Thats my take on it.</p> | |||||||||||||

| RE: Sighters I agree with Barry there, it is entirely a mental problem, and with practice and training can be overcome. (Easy to say, more difficult to do.) Daniel | |||||||||||||||
