There comes a point when you realize:

1) Everybody misses;

2) Some days you got it, some days you don't;

3) No matter how bad you think you are shooting, it ain't over till it's over; and

4) Don't make excuses, just play the hand you're dealt.

John, #3 is spot on!! The events I think I “struggle” in, and yes, I am my harshest critic, I am still usually in striking distance if I keep my head in the game and focus. After the “bad” event I look at the scores and know full well that if I paid attention and broke those one or two birds more that HOA was there for the taking. This is a mental game and if we just run the program we’ll be fine.

That’s quite relatable ! Again I was at Fredricksburg for the spring event and shooting the 410 on the field directly in front of the club house . A fine old gentleman that’s no longer with us and is in the VSSA HOF if I’m not mistaken Gibby Andes was sitting there watching our last two rounds with his wife as he was shooting next . I’d gone clean on the last two rounds , walked off and spoke to them . Gibby asked if I’d gone straight , I replied “no sir I had to break the last fifty just to get a 96” he replied I know the feeling !
