ntu invi. shoot.
today was the 1st day of the ntu invitational shoot.
it's been a long while since i shot such a kind of competition. a very long while. and i realise there's a lot of flaws i made today, that could well take away every effort that i put into training to at least maintain my score today.
550.
the scores have been sticking at tis level. had 552 in jan htns mthly shoot. thn i didn shoot feb htns mthly, since it was 4th day of cny(man, it's only the 4th day. eat more cookies lar. waz the hurry?) and whn i totalled up my training in feb, there were only...either 3 or 4 times for air rifle and one dry practice for prone (ONE!!! tis is bad. u know. very bad!)
well. i can only say the number of trainings plays a big part in how well u actually shoot(and of cos HOW u train. not whn u anyhow shoot for fun.) but feb was a bz mth. or mayb it's juz an excuse. i dno. mayb all these reasons shld b accounted for as excuses. i dno. u decide. exams. thn a stupid flu. which equates to one whole wk of NOTHING. the flu seriously sucked. it totally came at the wrong time. (oh wadever, it shldnt even be here in the 1st place.)
bac to ntu today. jitters somehow crawled its way back to me at the start of the comp. i was pretty nervous for some reason. i think its the pressure and the intensity of the competition that i haven felt in a super long time.
it gave me a really bad start. my normal routine were all messed up. how i suit up. which equipment i wore 1st and next, it started to mess up juz after i finish zipping "down"(in tis case it's down, not the usual zip up) my pants. thn dry firing started. i was hot. freaking hot. the anxiety prolly hyper-activated the sweat glands. i could i feel my perspiration coming out of my skin like some blardie tap water. every dry shot i take, my cheek piece got wet. (man. it's freaking crazy. i was wiping my head and gun for like every shot! taz the starting part only though)
thn. comes the game. i couldnt settle dwn with my aiming. it was shaky and the lighting was damn bright. it took me quite a while to adjust to the lighting. sighter shots sucked like i dno wad i was shooting. my gun didn felt right either. mayb it's my position, mayb it's my cheekblock, mayb the flu affected my position. there's too many maybes. the feeling juz wasnt there. and even whn it was there for a shot, it was only existent for not more than the fingers of one hand. (so yes. basically the whole competition, i juz kept shooting even whn i didn felt right.)
and the worst mistake! nvr throw ur watch/clock into ur luggage or smwhere else, ESPECIALLY whn u cant see the range clock right at the OTHER END 33 LANES away and ur shooting glasses lens are not made to fit ur actual degree. damn. it was the worst mistake i hav ever committed. by the time i finish my sighter shots, i was desperately trying to look at the time(which i cant freaking see!!!) so i had to turn ard, agar agar see wad the time was. and damn, it proved me short of time by the end of the competition. luckily, i could still finish shooting. (otherwise, i think i'm gna get a bad scolding...)
i'm juz not satisfied with my processes today. it was a big screw up. visualisation. relaxation. routine execution. i think i'll hav to go bac to the basics of mental skills once again. it's been long while since i've used mental skills intensively. and i had trigger freeze today again. it occured quite a few times.
hmm. problems are starting pop out here and there again. i guess it's time to start reflecting wad is happening...
