Fire true to your passion.
i've probably lost the feeling of how i felt hours ago, feeling very challenged & motivated to shoot. but oh well. at least i can remb the experience still. i shld b able to get the feeling back as i typed on. so read on as well.
so...wahaha. went down to cck and shot smallbore today. basically i was thinking of taking up 3P. and in fact i've been thinking of taking up 3P for quite a while alrdy. but i prolly only did 2P today. which is the prone and the standing position. didn get a chance to do kneeling today.
standing position. no elaboration on that. cos basically it's the same as normal air rifle standing position, just with the addition of a recoil whn u shoot. hmm. gotta work on that though, if i'm shooting 3P. cos basically, i find the buttplate too short for me so it aint fixed and i feel it's affecting my shooting for standing position.
prone position. tis is the challenge. but it's where the fun is for today. hahaha. coach asked me to take up the prone position in my innerwear at first. thn the jacket came on. and the perspiration starts to come in like a normal water tap that is turned on. it sure took quite a while for me to adapt to the position. the left arm going over the sling. the tightness. the pushing. the position. woah, it gets kinda tough on first try. thn my body starts to adapt. and tis process was filled with the most perspiration. hahaha. after a while, whn i finally end my prone training with 15 shots. i can say i was not perspring as much as b4.
50m rifle proning for the first time = perspiration till my whole long sleeve T was wet inside [taz basically for me. ha.]
haha. enuf talk abt the happenings. now as always. feelings are better to express in blogs. it makes blogs hav emotions (i guess so? or does it not?)
i think i'm falling in love all over again for my passion. shooting air rifle all tis years. i do actually feel kinda numb smtimes. so numbed i've find it no challenge to shoot good scores anymore, instead i switched to the challenge to perfect my processes. but that aint easy. now that i picked up shooting 3P, by basically starting out with proning. it's a challenge. a very much fun challenge. prolly taz waz been motivating me to shoot, all tis while. the challenges that every different discipline of sport shooting possesses that makes me wna further my shooting knowledge & technical skills.
i could feel the drive to really start shooting all over again. it's like bac to the basics. back right where i was really hyped up, passionate, motivated, fired up, enthusiastic to shoot air rifle. back right where i first started shooting, where i first touched the air rifle, picked it up, started to shoot on the target.
but only tis time it's a smallbore rifle. i feel i've got much to learn again. and in fact it is. it's like entering a totally new country, juz like how the different countries are on tis planet earth. Earth is shooting. And the countries are the different disciplines.
i can really feel how I first fell in love with shooting. and tis time it's all over again. and the love is even deep now. i'm not sure if i can commit to tis. but the only sport that i'll nvr quit in tis lifetime of mine, it's shooting. i know it cos i can feel it. i think i'll be really sad if i were not be able to shoot one day, even to the extent of breaking down. good or bad scores. singapore team or not. i'll still shoot. all my life. as long as i live.
so. to all out there who reads this. no matter wad. if it's such a sport u love so much. dn give it up within a few years of doing it. go on doing it if u love it so much. if it's such a passion of your life. do it with wadever u've got. for the sake of your passion. nvr give it up in your lifetime. esp, whn u've fallen very deeply in love with it. bcos if u give it up or no longer be able to do it, it's as good as losing someone u love...
