Hi,
Back in February I decided to recast myself as a lefthanded shooter after suffering from an incredible meltdown trying to shoot righthanded for a year and a half.
Things have been steadily improving, I am currently shooting in the low to mid eighties and am trying to get the average up to 85 percent.
I shoot twenty shot targets several times a day, typically two to three targets in the evening session.
One of my goals was to hit a ninty percent target before Medicare starts in a few weeks.
Tonight I met the goal :) (barely 180/200, only 4 in the eight ring).
Now that I know it is possible, maybe I can string a couple of good targets together...
One peculiar note: the last several days my best target of the day has come on shots 81-100 ( the last target of the day).
I hope that crack of light in the tunnel is not an onrushing train...

Most of the time I have the same problem that you describe, however I periodically get a hot hand, last week I had a run of 98/100 in the black ( I also had a target with four "snowbunnies"...).
I am hoping that consistency will improve with good practice.

Our numbers are legion
Jerry,
I hope this is not considered an insult, but, there are many of us (that was the reference to nsults, hope you are not offended by my random inclusion of you into a group called us)
I have recently developed the habit of flinging a shot into the white so as to keep my scores down. This is not what I wanted to do, but, stuff happens. Got the finest pistol (Anschutz LP-@), with the stoopidest name.
I enter the high Noon Competition often, under the name Dan Hankins. You can find me near the bottom in AP and AR 30 REQ.I am averaging the low 80s to mid 80s almost all of the time.
The bottom line is that if you enjoy it, do it. Some of us baby boomers deserve to have some fun. There is often good competition at the back of the fleet as well as at the front.
We are a majority, we fit the profile of the average competition air gun buyer. I hope to see you competing in the high Noon competition. I'll be there, some where near the bottom, cheering on my friends who are a little further up the list.
Hang in there.
Respectfully,
Bubba
