I can't say that I was really "off" at my reslistic hunting yardages. Out to about 18 yards, I could keep a fairly consistent group of 6" or so.What kind of shooting were you doing before 3 under that made you want to change? I guess how accurate were you (shot grouping with how many outliers at what yardage) with split shooting? I guess what I’m wondering is what was off?
I've killed 3 groundhogs on 4 shots this summer. Farthest shot was ~22 yards. I gave him a haircut on the one shot that I missed...almost got him.
So my shooting wasn't "bad" but I'm not the best as I can be.
I think I have a combination of things that need improvement. I tend to short draw and snap shoot too much.
I do believe that I have a mild case of target panic, which leads to issues with form. Not sure which comes 1st...the chicken or the egg? Do flaws in form lead to target panic or does panic lead to bad form?
I was shooting what I considered "acceptable" with split fingers but I had to read that darn thread on 3 under. I respect the input from a lot of the guys that are shooting 3 under. I figured "Eh, what the heck, I'll give it a try, I can always switch back to split". Now after just a few day of 3 under, I don't know if I will ever go back to split.
Which leads me to wondering if I can get even better. I think that I can, and I'm willing to take that next step, but how? I'd like some quality instruction.
Not just advice from a good shooter, I want some quality instruction. I think my flaws (my SHOOTING flaws, haha) are fairly minor but identifying and correcting them is the challenge.
There's another thread about spending money on high end stuff. I'm willing to pay the $200 for a class but which one suits me the best?
There's something about Rod Jenkins personality that draws me towards his class. I like the system ROOT has...basically on-going and also has a discussion group to talk about this stuff. Yeah, like I need another forum to make posts that are too long! Ha!
