Sure, I aimed high to compensate for the sights. And that high one was a flyer. But look at the group! I was happy to do that with .22 a couple years back.
And this after not training, or practicing, for almost a month.
What was the secret? Relaxing. I didn't dwell on the shots. My attitude was "I know what a sight picture is, I know how to make the trigger go good. Just do that."
Obviously, I am not perfect. In a string of targets I have a bad habit of moving to the next target before I taking care of the business at hand with the first target. And in a hurry I still slap the heck out of the trigger. I need to concentrate on resets, then fast resets, then 'move beyond the reset...' like more advanced shooters do. But that's a process. Get the resets first. Worry about the next step after.
The minutiae I think about now compared to 5 years ago. And once mastered the minutiae turns into background noise... This part of the process fascinates me.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
