    My father used to be a competitive skeet shooter back when i was a kid, he's 80 now, but back in the day was right up there with the very best in the country, but was always limited by funds at the time bringing up two kids on one wage, paying the mortgage, particularly in the era of 21% interest. He obviously got me into it and I shot for a Boys high school team for a couple of years.

    Anyway I digress, one of the things I always remember (aside from the gun fitment and actually shooting ability) was him talking about the mental game of skeet shooting. The ability to have control over emotion, if you missed a target, you're ability to forget about it completely, not dwell on it, as if you dwell on it and get yourself all worked up still thinking about the miss, it will affect the rest of your round.

    This was huge, and if you were able to control this emotion, it made a huge difference. Sometimes easier said than done.
