Are you resting enough between shots? That was the first mistake I made when I started, shooting too fast and getting fatigued after about 20 shots.DukeShooter wrote:I may get defeated but dang is this thing a tack driver I feel like I'm zapping the target! This is so cool! I probably can't shoot 300 yet but the dang thing is fun to shoot! I gotta start exercising my arm, I get tired quick. People think shooting isn't "athletic", well let them try 60 shots with a TOZ, that will change their tune!
Roughly, the transfer of lactic acid out of the muscle fiber takes twice a long as the duration of the effort that created it. I teach a pace of about 1 shot per minute — aborts are a shot — in the air pistol and free pistol discipline. This is broken into about 20 seconds of lifting, aiming, and firing and about 40 seconds of rest between shots. (2:1, eh?) A reasonably fit competitor can keep this up for hours.
lol yeah it's very reassuring, knowing that your arm isn't as weak as you think it is!DukeShooter wrote:Wow great advice Sean thanks!
