rick, don't know if this would help you, but larry uses one of those scopes with a ring and NOT a dot. that way, he says, he can keep focused on the spot he's going to hit 'with his conscious'.
Tried that, man what a mistake for me. I had a heck of a time shooting like this. I shoot MUCH better with a plain black dot just large enough to cover the entire 10 ring. Honestly, what is holding me back right now is the really really minor stuff, as well as the self discipline. Next week I am going to focus on making sure I let down when it doesn't feel right. Don't think I will keep score next week, just shooting to make sure it feels right, and if not letting down. I can fix the self discipline on my own which I think will easily get me above the 445 average, and then will probably start seeing a coach (Don Howard) to help me step into the next level from there and hopefully lay down a 450 before the end of the season.
