Young Guy Has ONLY Ever Used SOFT-AIR Guns:

Long term friend 'J' ordered me to watch this ..

They're having such a great time ..


It's so cool - seeing these men smiling so much on range: Liku from Japan has a great story that shows how "IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD".

Thirty-two minutes of fun .. watching a young guy's dream come true. He is so fast & accurate with both pistol and rifle .. you'd swear he was an old hand.

'J' was saying that I'm always "going-on" about training, dry-firing and practice and visualisation and even 'myelination' .. and here was proof that I might (maybe) have a point 😁
- That's a link below, to my earlier scribblings on the subject:

Winners train and practice .. that will be a lot of the real stuff - match play en all.

- The top shooting competitors burn a lot of ammunition for sure ... BUT they will also dry fire plenty at home .. because you can't spend all day - every day, on the range in all seasons and weather.

.. but even when you're on the line about to shoot - visualising HOW you are going to sequence your shots & movement & reloads helps speed your shooting above a casual mindset.

You don't want to concentrate .. but rather FOCUS.

The science of it all is myelination. full stop. - Check it out on Wikipedia eh .. (if you can be fecked). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelin

- Those old guys who used to say "Practice makes Perfect" knew something - despite being daft old farts.
 - And those stupid bloody teachers who made you (if you're old enough) learn your 'Times Tables' and even learn poetry - actually were getting inside your heads and smoothing your neural pathways - in anticipation that one day you might decide that you needed to learn how to do something essential for your future.

I wish I had listened more ... but puberty and all that seemed more urgent at the time eh
