Something that came out of a recent class with JJ Racaza was his absolute devotion to repeatable performance. When I looked critically at my recent match performance, what would make the biggest difference was not upping my max speed but rather executing a reasonable percentage of my max speed consistently.
For the last month or so, my wife and I have restructured our practice sessions towards repeatable performance. As we worked through that process, we have focused on the actual elements of a successful shot — which are appropriate sight alignment and appropriate trigger manipulation. It really isn’t rocket science, to align the sights and press the trigger appropriate to the target, but the aha moment is to consistently exercise the discipline to do those things so you can with a high degree of certainty predict the outcome of the shot before you fire it. Related, is doing all that without worrying about how long it takes, since removing external time pressure allows you to better execute the fundamentals, and likely do it faster.
So for discussion, how may of your shots in practice hit as you planned, and how many are errant? Our goal is to have as few surprises as possible, and when there is a surprise to treat it almost like a gun malfunction where you diagnose what went wrong.
