Default RE: Getting my son better at 3-D????

One technique I read about was to have him shoot at a blank target. Don't have him aim at anything in particular just put the pin on the target and work on his mechanics. To me it sounds like target panic, and with a blank target there is no bulls-eye or vitals to worry about and all he has to worry about is a nice clean release. After some repetition muscle memory kicks in and then have him go back to shooting bulls-eyes and then back to 3d targets. Also if you have a shooting range with a full backstop where you can have him SAFELY shoot with his eyes closed that might help too. That way he can "feel" himself punching the trigger. Again he will have nothing to aim at so all he can focus on is that nice clean break of the release. Hope that helps!
