Always looking for that extra little edge with my form and in this case my mental game. Brand new Critique video. Couldn't find my new true shot coach and my old one is just about done but I am still using it.
Still utilizing a open stance and have since dropped back to 65lbs during training. I have noticed since I have dropped my strength conditioning to focus more on cardio for the coming elk hunts that I have noticed that my elbow wants to collapse when I try to keep it pronated during draw cycle.
My main issue is my mental
process once I get fully settled in. I have got a lot better at intentionally holding for an extra 10-15 seconds and still having a clean shot execution. However one day I'm doing pretty good, the next I completely dissolve back to a very rushed shot. I've tried counting to a solid 10-15 seconds and engaging, it worked for awhile and now I've noticed the counting has cause anxiety in itself. Then I stopped counting and really focusing on my form and picturing my rhomboid as the trigger, which has allowed me a little to relax and control the duration of my "hold" until I'm comfortable to shoot but still having issue duplicating.
My main question and concern is getting others advice on their mental process to allow them to relax and not rush the shot. Any advice?
On a side note I no longer count at all, I've noticed counting up or down to a certain number still leads to a extra anxiety when I get close to the end number. Also I have a Carter Evolution but trying to avoid it till after my elk hunts. I've settled I with my thumb release since I'm more accurate with it than my wrist release but noticed I still do the same thing with both. I'm more less just looking for that "click" in my thought process to let my subconscious to relax enough to let me execute the shot without being rushed.
Also I'm a big believer in John Dudleys expression about "its all about what happens on the line". In other words one thing that has helped a little is to avoid focusing so much on the downrange but let the pin float and focus on what's happening on the line(my form/execution).
