I shoot 1k/mo at paper (practice-practice-practice), yet still look
foolish
at IDPA shoots. I don't handle the pressure of the clock and trying to
remember the course. Most regulars at my club make me look like a noob.

Then do as the good ones do. Turn off your forebrain and let the hind
brain shoot the match.

Tons of videos on Youtube, etc, where some one makes a "million to
one shot" that they couldn't do if they tried. Because they weren't
"trying" they were just doing.

The studies have determined that the reason people "fail in the
clutch" is that they are doing just that - thinking about what they
have to do. Example - basketball players, start out thinking through
each step of the move to make a free throw. They then get the
"action" learned and transferred to the "muscle memory" part of the
brain, which does it quite well. Till it is "5 seconds on the clock,
make this shot to win the game" and the championship. At which point,
they transfer the action from the part which learned it, to the part
which has to learn it. Clutch time - and the blow the shot!


One of the best "back brain" videos Ive seen in a very long time
