Next General Meeting July 2nd Starting at 7:00 PM

Club News If you haven’t noticed the five stand is up and running. Business has been fairly brisk but the setup is still on the challenging side. At the current time it is only open until 1:30 pm on Sunday so get there early if you want to shoot it.

Markham Youth Program members Joey Pinchin, Andrew Loitz, Nick and Ashley Blenker, who are also part of the Young Guns at Quail Creek, all did well at the SCTP state shoot at Silver Dollar held the same weekend at the FTA Spring Championships. Their next meet will be the SCTP Nationals. Be sure to congratulate them on their excellent outing at Silver Dollar and wish them well at the upcoming Nationals.

Andrew, Nick and Ashley will be attending the FSA Skeet camp in Palatka on June 6-7th. Andrew and I have attended this camp three of the last four years and have enjoyed it each time.

I am looking into throwing a Doubles Marathon the weekend before the ATA Southern Zone. I am going to talk to

Gulf Coast Clays or South Florida Shooting Club about hosting the shoot. If you are interested send me an email.

Yeah, this will be in the middle of the summer, but you don’t have to shoot all 500 targets. Shoot 100, 200, or anything up to 500. It’s a nice way to prep for the Zone shoot.

Schools out soon so Monday night Youth Program is starting to heat up. I just got an email from Steve McGillicuddy. He will be rejoining us on Mondays as a coach in January of next year after he finishes his Police Academy training. I look forward to welcoming him back.

Russ Naples had his hip surgery and is up and about. Wish him well next time you see him. He’s been shooting practice already. Don’t overdo it Russ!

The Summer Program for Trap in is effect starting with the May shoot. This means all events are 50 targets instead of 100.

Congratulations goes out to Al Potter, Jr., Federico Ramirez, Andrew Loitz, and Phil Demena for their great shooting at the FTA Spring Championships. Al, Phil, and Andrew placed Champion, Runner-Up, and Third in the Championship Handicap.

Nice shooting guys! Federico won the Class Singles Championshp with the lone 100. Way to go Markham!

We need help in the way of pullers for the trap shoots this summer. If you are available to help let Steve k Norris know you are willing to help out. It surely would be appreciated.

I have added some new features to the newsletter. There is a Calender of Events highlighting things happening with the club, rebates on shells, shell specials, etc. If you know of something to report let me know and I’ll post it. I’ve also added a calendar for shoots in our area in Trap, Skeet, and Sporting. Hope you like it.

the last Sporting Clays tournament.

Rodrigo Mehich and Ted Gray lead 41 shooters by 6 targets with their 90’s. That’s a nice turnout for this shoot. Nice work by Steve Haynie, Wayne South and their crew!

Thanks again guys.

Most of my Snow Birds have headed north so we only had six shooters at the last Skeet shoot.

Neil Woolfolk shot a nice 188 to lead the HOA along with every gauge and the doubles. Nice shooting Neil, Wow! The last Trapshoot saw 26 shooters shooting the Singles which was lead by Stephanie Carlson and Frank Price with 49’s.

John Beedenbender lead the Handicap with a lone 45 and Alex Riera lead the doubles with a 49.

Hope everyone likes the new format. That is Phil Demena on the cover by the way. No pony tail but he still looks good as a cartoon character.

See you at the club!

Nice shooting and a nice turnout at 5

Magazine Review Skeet Shooting REVIEW – May 2015 John Shima believes a shooter “must make the right effort to do the right things, the right way to get the best results.” In confirming this belief he has 15 ‘right’ elements a shooter must be aware of to achieve their best shooting. There seem to be three main themes to these elements. The first has to do with the right purpose, motivation, and desire behind our shooting. Sometimes we forget why we really do what we do. Is it just winning or is it beating our personal best and raising the level of our game to greater heights that keeps us coming back to the range? Concerning desire, he hints at the deeper meaning of sport in general. Is our desire to break a good score greater than our desire to see a broken target? Here’s a hint, you should be more concerned with the latter than the former.

The second group of right behaviors have to do with what he calls the Shooting Reflex and training the adaptive unconscious or subconscious to take over and control the shooting response. The right move has to do with training yourself to see what you have to see and learning the physical swing required to do this consistently. The right practice for your level of shooting knowledge will take your Shooting Reflex to the next level. The right visual and mental focus then allows the Shooting Reflex to operate under optimal conditions for proper reaction and response to seeing the target.

I want to go back to John Shima’s idea of possessing the ‘right desire’. Why do we shoot? Is it only to prove we are better than the rest of our competitors or is it because we want to see a target break? When we started shooting the desire was to see our target break. As we master the ability to break a target this desire can morph into a desire to break above a set score. We set the score as a goal and deem it to be a measure of our abilities. This soon morphs into a measure of self-worth. Here is where shooting stops being fun.

Somehow we need to go back to the beginning where there is no judgment of self-worth. When we are shooting for the joy of shooting we are shooting in the here and now. When we are shooting for score we are shooting in the future and the only satisfaction comes after the last target is shot. Every target should be satisfying not just the last one.

Keep the desire to break each target perfectly uppermost in your mind and the good scores will fall into place.

After reading John Shima’s articles over the last year any attempts to explain the conscious and subconscious mind as it pertains to shooting seem less scholarly for want of a better word.

Joel Blankenship discusses the subconscious and conscious mental elements of the shooting process and basically reiterates much of John Shima’s philosophy. Teach the subconscious how to break a target and give the conscious something specific to do such as visually locking on the target.

Finally, you have to have the right mindset which entails having faith, confidence, and courage in your shooting. You need to have faith and trust in your subconscious response to the target and the courage to accept your mistakes when they occur.

The right pre-shot routine followed consistently completes the right elements of good shooting.

is a Lanny Bassham, self-image professor. This month Todd provides some good examples of how your behavior can be detrimental to your self-image and thus your confidence.

Joel also goes into goal-setting both long and shortterm. He likes the mnemonic SMART for goalsetting. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time bound. You need to set a specific or significant goal that is both measurable and attainable.

The goal must be relevant or rewarding to you and you must set a time limit or specific date for attaining it. You should also set short term goals every time you go out to practice. Pick one target or idea you want to work on during a training session and work on it and it alone. Be sure to reward yourself when things go as planned.

Your goals need to be both realistic and attainable.

Try to keep those goals fixed within a short, reasonable time span. Set goals just slightly beyond your current skill level then set a practice schedule that will make your goal possible. Think positive thoughts when you go out to shoot, develop and stick to a good pre-shot routine are his last ideas for your consideration.

Shotgun Sports – June 2015 There is philosophy and there is psychology. I always looked to philosophy as a way of trumping the psychology of the game but there are times when the psychology of the game overshadows even the best philosophy. In an interesting contrast John Shima talks about philosophy and his partner Todd Bender

Lanny likes to proclaim you can only shoot as well as your self-image will allow you. This means if you are shooting well your self-image may step in and sabotage your performance to keep you in your self-image comfort zone. How do we prevent this?

Reinforce the positive and don’t dwell on the negative or poor performances. Don’t allow misses to cause you to believe you are vulnerable to any particular target just because you miss it once. Returning to basics usually fixes most perceived problems.

That’s not to say sometimes we develop real issues but most of the time the fix is simple, pay more attention to the actual shooting.

One last note from Lanny, only two things can happen at an impending competition. You can do well or you can fail. If you do well, no problem. If you do poorly consider it a chance to learn what you need to work on to improve.

Visualization is a tool many of us use on the course and at home, practicing for an event. Michael J. Keyes, M.D. reminds us this month of the finer points to this tool. Make the visualization as detailed as possible. Feel the wind and sun on your face, see the background, the details of the targets, and anything else to make the mental image as sharp as possible. Practice your visualization. Hone it into a skilled tool you can include as part of your practice and pre-shot routines. Relax, visualize the shot, prepare your stance, and take the shot.

Dr. Keyes also suggests visualizing and recreating the stress of match competition. Recreate the stress in your mind and examine it. Evaluate it and determine practice methods to defeat it or use it to your advantage.

Magazine Review

SPORTING CLAYS – June 2015 You have to learn how to walk before you can run and if you are going to participate in most sports you surely need to learn how to run. In the shooting sports running equates to learning how to shoot a crossing or angle target. Anyone can learn how to break an incoming target, a straight-away, or stalling teal, but it takes effort to learn how to swing a gun after or in front of a fast moving crosser or angle. This is a skill I feel a great many shooters never learn correctly or definitely. I once gave a trap doubles clinic where one of the participants couldn’t break a second target consistently. Finally, I asked him to shoot only the angle target of the pair. He knew where the angle target was going, but he couldn’t break it with any sense of consistency. Why he wanted to participate in a doubles clinic is still beyond me. He should have been spending his time learning how to break a single right angle.

Why do I bring this up? Gil and Vicki Ash always harp on how people are looking at the barrel instead of the target. Their only admonishment seems to be, “Put more focus on the target!” Maybe the people they are talking about never learned how to move the gun to the target at a speed where they can keep continuity with both the target and the gun. This is a skill! You don’t just grab a gun and intuitively know how to

swing it to a target. You have to learn how to coordinate your swing and your visual lock on the target so you can merge them into a sight picture. Those first swings on hard crossers or angles are always wild flings in the direction of the target. It takes time and practice to learn how to swing a gun after a speeding target! I never read about how you are supposed to teach or learn this. More focus on the target evidently corrects all flaws. Gil and Vicki never talk about swing coaching.

I guess the take-away from this is the following question you should ask yourself: Am I always aware of my barrel/bead on every hard angling or crossing target as I swing through or in front of it? If at some point everything is just a blur including the target then you need to consider working on slowing your swing to match your visual abilities. Which brings me to another point when it comes to established shooters. No matter how advanced you get in the shooting game, you will still make the mistake of breaking a pair then on the next pair for some unfathomable reason you hold closer to the trap than you did on the first pair. This places you out of the zone where you can easily keep continuity with both the target and barrel/beads. Not too many writers talk about this.

Gil and Vicki denigrate muzzle awareness and Daniel Schindler insists on its importance. I side with Daniel.

If you aren’t aware of both the target and your barrel/ bead position how can know when to stop swinging or when to take the shot? Move your hold point to a spot where you can control your awareness of both the target and your barrel/beads is all I have to say.

One last item Gil and Vicki agree with an idea from Lanny Bassham this month. Look at every miss as an opportunity to learn. Isn’t that what Todd Bender said in his article? Don’t look at misses as a statement of your self-worth, see them as an opportunity to improve.

Quit judging and start playing.

Randy Lawrence has some astute things to say about coaching this month. I never pick up a gun and shoot targets on Monday night. I do dry-fire at targets to give students and idea of how fast to move the shotgun. I tell them to ignore the target and simply watch me swing up to or over to the target. The idea is to show the students how they can control the shot by moving slowly to the target. Other than that I never shoot targets when I teach.

I know some instructors who do and I understand how you might do this on occasion especially on a target your students seem to keep missing.

Sometimes it can help to get a real world feeling for the target by shooting it a couple of times yourself if you haven’t earlier. Maybe your perspective was wrong and shooting a few can give you some ideas on how to explain the move to the target to your students.

Randy also talks about the guided Pro-Am Model where you go out and shoot a round with a student. This is good and I’ve done it a few times with more advanced students. One thing I haven’t done a lot of is shooting with another sporting clays coach to get their perspective on how they would teach a presentation. I intend on talking to Jim Herron about this since I believe it would be a good training exercise for coaches in the Young Guns program.

I like a good movie and when they have a good message I am especially intrigued. Tony Monzingo suggests four classics that contain good examples of the mental game along with a good story line. The first one is The Greatest Game Ever Played. This is golf classic about an actual

match between American Francis Ouimet and Brits Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. According to Tony there are great references and images of the golfers’ use of ‘visualization, pre-shot routine, mindfulness, and cleansing breaths.’ If mastered or incorporated into your personal shooting program these are all skills designed to improve your consistency and concentration.

Vardon is quoted as having said, “To play well you must feel tranquil and at peace.” I think this quote goes nicely with The Legend of Bagger Vance movie even if it wasn’t a part of it. In this movie Bagger Vance a golf caddy exhorts his golfer Junuh to find his one, true authentic swing.

We all have one of these. We all have one swing method that produces our favorite sight picture.

Find the swing method that’s your base method, the one that produces the ‘right’ sight picture for you. Find it and your true swing will come out.

It will choose you. All we have to do is get out of our own way.

The Karate Kid is a classic sports flick for pushing the idea of correct fundamentals: wax on, wax off. Learn the right fundamentals and ingrain them into your subconscious. I have never seen Searching for Bobby Fisher or if I did I don’t remember it the way Tony does. He says there are some great visualization sequences in this movie so look for that when you view it. Finally, Mr. Monzingo mentions Dr. Bob Rotella’s books on golf. I have read The Golfer’s Mind and I recommend it highly. There are some great quotes in the book and some true gems when it comes to the mental game. Search for his books on Amazon, I’m sure you will enjoy them.

Magazine Review Some things are obvious but maybe being reminded isn’t a bad idea either. Marty Fischer gives some pointers on shooting in windy conditions this month. For example, always read the wind and sun when you step up to a station. If needed consider shooting the first target in a pair more quickly if it will make the second target less vulnerable to the wind. The wind can seriously affect a shot stream and Marty suggests ways to counteract this. Use larger shot and a tighter choke are the best solutions. I usually carry three or four different loads with me on the course, everything from light 8’s (1145 fps) to heavy 7 ½’s (1300+ fps). On windy days I leave the 8’s and light loads behind. My main staple is the 1200 and 1300+ fps 7 ½’s. These are less likely to be affected by the wind.

Trap & Field – May 2015 Unlike some people I like to line-up my beads and it is nice to hear Ron Sutton likes to see his sighting plane the same way as I do. I asked to see someone’s gun the other day and was confronted with a sighting plane where I saw all of the rib from receiver to the end bead. When I told the owner I would never be able to shoot his fine shotgun he informed me that all you do is put the bead under the target. Well, here’s the rub. When I look over the receiver all I see is a barrel that’s in the middle of my vision. I am looking straight into a barrel that’s blocking my central vision. To shoot off the end of the barrel like he suggests means I would have to look up at the bead. This isn’t how you look at something. You are not supposed to look out of the tops of your eyes you are supposed to look straight at it. The barrel and beads are supposed to be visible under your eye. So, for those of

you who see all your rib, good for you, personally I can’t shoot that way.

Ron advises paying attention to the targets, especially your look bird. I agree with him, I study the targets, the wind, and the lighting with rapt attention to detail. Noticing what’s going on with the targets has saved me innumerable misses over the years.

Finally, he advises letting the target commit itself before you move on it when you are shooting handicap. Dan Bonillas said, “Let the target commit itself” and I still believe this is the most important advice when it comes to any target.

While I agree with Bob Palmer when he talks of the ‘quiet mind’ where there is no self-talk, I don’t agree the mind should be thoughtless. You have to know what you are doing when you go into a quiet mind mode. You still have to be aware. There are things you make yourself aware of as part of your pre-shot routine. Your conscious mind picks up on the wind, the post or station you are on, and the awareness of your hold and look points. If you go out there with an empty head you will shoot like someone with an empty head. It’s a fine line to walk but you need to know the boundaries of your awareness.

Al Potter—FTA Spring Handicap Champion Magazine Review 12

TrapShootingUSA – May-June 2015 This issue is the first of the two Florida Issues of TrapShootingUSA. Shoot results for the Dixie Grand and many of Silver Dollar’s shoots are featured in this issue.

Larry Grenevicki and I both enjoy the memorabilia associated with the shooting sports and this month Larry presents us with a wonderful article on The Encyclopedia of Shotgun Shell Boxes. Not only are the pictures of the old boxes a delight but the actual auction pricing listed with the boxes was a real shock. The fact these boxes range in price from a mere $75 to an astounding $40,000 is fascinating. Thanks again to Larry for in interesting piece on the history of our shooting sports. Now, go search your attic for old shell boxes!

To explain Lanny Bassham’s psychological ‘people mapping’ strategy would take too long so I’m not going to do it. I will however give suggestions to people matching some of the personality types. If you fit any of the personality traits I mention here you might do well to heed Lanny’s advice.

Lanny labels people who are self-oriented and quick to act or are very decisive, Drivers. These people tend to want to solve their own problems and avoid coaching. He suggests they loosen up and let a coach look into their technique and form if they want to progress more rapidly. People who are very decisive but are also people oriented are called, Expressives. These people tend to change equipment and techniques on a regular basis, searching for something that provides the magic key to their shooting. Lanny suggests they find one gun and one technique that works and dedicate time to them to build up trust in their abilities rather than expecting something new to fix all their problems.

The Amiables are people oriented and more cautious about their decision making. They are too concerned about what other people think and tend not to practice enough. They need to accept the fact most good practice is done alone. Finally, there are the Analytics who are cautious in their decision making and are self-oriented. He thinks these shooters over-analyze shots, are resistant to change, and have a hard time calming their minds. Again, loosen up, try new styles and techniques and learn some mental calming exercises as part to your preshot routine.

I was working with a student last Saturday and noticed some of the problems consequential to the point I was trying to get across in this month’s issue. You cannot expect to have great results if you don’t pay heed to your focal point. Too many times I watch shooters move and shoot without any observable visual lock on the target. Ask them what they saw on a missed target and the answer will not include the target at least not after the initial glimpse of it. You must lock on the target if you expect to have consistent success. The object is to shoot the target not the gun. See the target, go to the target, shoot the target works better than see the target, go to a spot in the sky, and shoot.

Some of it has to do with concentration. You have to see every target. You can’t simply glimpse the target. Just because you instantly realize the target is a quartering left angle off of post three doesn’t mean you can jump out to your usual break point and pull the trigger without locking on the target.

Sometimes the target won’t be there when you pull the trigger. Too many targets are missed by glimpsing the target then jumping out to our usual break point for that target and pulling the trigger. You have to shoot every target individually. There are no standard targets. You have to make a purposeful move to each target. They are all unique, treat them that way.

Youth Program

Several of our shooters attended the SCTP Florida Championships at Silver Dollar Shooters Club. All of them came away with awards.

Joey Pinchin, Nick Blenker, Ashley Blenker, and Andrew Loitz all won team and individual trophies. Pictured are the winning trap and skeet JV team members of Ace Schorr, Coach Jim Harrod, Jay Bible, and Andrew Loitz. Andrew lead all shooters in both the trap and skeet events with a 99x100 and 49x50 respectively. Congrats to them all!
