Some thoughts to keep you busy this winter.

Dryfire. Read what 2015 NRA bullseye champion, two time Olympian and multi time World Cup winner Keith Sanderson has to say about dryfire. After reading this watch his YouTube videos.

"5 minutes for this stage - that's like a week in people years!"

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."
― Hyman G. Rickover

"Scoring is a function of great execution, and winning Is the result, but thinking about winning can pull your focus off of proper execution in a competition. Thinking about process is the answer."- Lanny Bassham

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Mike, those books are in my Amazon cart. If it ever gets too cold to shoot, I'll enjoy reading them.

I now have access to an Ishapore Enfield in 7.62. I may shoot it in the next High-Power match.

Hope to see y'all soon.
