I have the greatest respect for those of you that share knowledge of shooting skills and we all learn from your experience.
Points I learned from TS: (based on your level of 'expertise') and I use this in the operating room....its an analogy to the QPs and their honed shooting skills: slower is faster, efficiency breeds speed, speed alone leads to mistakes (and misses).
The most skilled surgeon that are 'fast' with the moves in the O.R. are not fast, just efficient, no wasted moves and this appears as speed when compared to the novice that performs 15 moves for my 3....NDD unconsciously has 7 of his 8 fundamentals hardwired, he may need to 'think' about only 1.
I'm sure you guys know the compentency stages of tasks:
- unconsciously incompetent
- consciously incompetent
- consciously competent
- unconsciously competent....this is where TS, NDD and others are speaking from.
Once you attain the zen (thank you TR), you have attained the level of unconsciously competent....it is without obvious thought that the task is completed correctly......forget 10,000 TS, more like > 100,000 ??
RL, I wrote down the TS's dry fire routine he gave me....I have to find it at home and I'll pass it along...it works.
