Never think you are not good enough to coach. I found that you are only not good enough until you do it. It is a learning process and it sounds like you and your buddy may have a perfect opportunity to learn and improve each other's skills.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies observing conditions through the spotting scope and seeing where the bullet impacts on the target is about the fastest way I know of to make significant improvement.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies who ever you are coaching needs to be honest about their shot call too. If they make a bad shot, they should tell you where they called the shot.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies I was fortunate enough to shoot with and coach some really good shooters, like john harrison and that made my learning curve much shorter. As a rule of thumb, I generally make full value corrections.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies as john once told me, "an 8 at 9:00 is as good as an 8 at 3:00", so there is no reason not to make full corrections. Best of luck with your shoot tomorrow!Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies

So new gun performed well, 1st relay was 197-6x, I was happy. Then the wind picked up and I was watching the flags and failed bad, 187-3x. 2nd relay of the day was the most inconsistent wind of the day.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies guys that typically win the 1k yard shoots were in the low 190s. To be honest I shot 2 8s (I never shoot an 8), and was trying different holds and seeing what happened.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies most of my misses were out the right and low. Figuring out what a headwind will do, was interesting to say the least.

Sounds like you had a good session at the range.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies I know what you are saying when you are talking about the flags and mirage. Back around 2000 or so, I was shooting at perry and a marine team shooter was scoring me.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies I was shooting 10's and X's when midway through the string at 600, an 8 bit me. I didn't see anything different through my spotting scope so, I didn't make a correction, maybe it was me.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies went right back to 10's and X's. When the match was over, the marine told me what had happened. Conditions were the same when I scoped them but, for that shot, the flags dropped just as I got on the sights and broke the shot.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies the flags raised again just after and everything looked the same in the spotting scope. Never would have known that if the marine had not told me.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies

Another time at perry, on the 300yd line, I watched the flags all going one way but the mirage was going the opposite way. I based my dope on the mirage because it was the condition my bullets would be traveling through.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies when the targets came back up, you could hear all the groans of disappointment from the other shooters up and down the line. They had based their dope on the flags and lost a lot of points.Characteristics of cognitive learning strategies even though I didn't get it exactly right, nine 10's and a 9 for a 99-0X was much better than those around me.
