Mind Stuff – Part 3 The advance of the mind in dry- fire practice
We often hear the phrase ‘Practice makes perfect’. Well, I will put it to you now - that phrase needs development. If you will bear with me for a while I will elaborate, as in some instances the phrase is true - to a certain extent.
You will remember when I submitted the first of this series of articles? And I started with ‘Yuk….dry- fire?’ and went on to make it interesting? So many shooters abhor dry-fire, regarding it as a waste of time
and settle down in front of the TV yet again, sitting there just being a vegetable….
In my day and age, my Dad used to go crook if I wasted any time, either in my school work, attendant homework, just sitting about. “Read, you dumb cluck!” or similar was often the call…
So set my lifetime behind the sights of a target rifle and irrevocably altered the course of the river of life.
It was not until I learned to use the most powerful organ of the human body - the mind - that I eventually realised how much interaction there is just purely in the repetition that dry-fire contains. I woke up to the strength of the mind and, if you develop it carefully, just what it is capable of. A great deal of the credit also goes to a particular friend of mine in shooting - Lanny Bassham (USA) and what he too learned in pursuit of excellence.
