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.
