Hello friends,

In the last three videos, we discussed how to shoot a 10. The three steps; of how to shoot a 10 and rows of tens. The first step was; what is the aiming process, the three elements of the aiming process and how to make your aiming process automatic.

Because, only if you make your aiming process automatic, only then, you will be able to make your trigger operation also automatic; which is the second step.

And the third step was; when the sights come into the aiming area, you have to mentally Focus only on one task, which is the continuous trigger operation, before during and after the shot is fired.

Let me share my experience with you, back then, none of the shooters, my teammates had any idea of what the aiming process was; how to make it automatic, or whether it should become automatic.

How to make the trigger operation automatic and the third step was far and above the Horizon, which is mental focus; where do you keep your mind focused, when the sights come into the aiming area.

Nobody was there to tell us, how to go about it. During those days, there were no books and of course, there was no internet, where you could get all this information. 30 years down the line, where on the internet, will you get this kind of information? Of how to shoot rows of tens. Three steps, everything condensed into systematic training.

And I can tell you, during those days, had anyone told me what the aiming process was, I would have lapped it up. Because I would understand that this aiming process has to be mastered. Because I mastered my aiming process, almost a year and that time I didn't know what the aiming process was exactly?

It took me one year before my sights became steady, where my Focus became Sharp and my arc of movement reduced. And I got stuck in the trigger and all the shooters during those days, their trigger used to hang or they would jerk the trigger.

They had no concept of how automatic trigger works, no knowledge. And forget about the first step, where you're supposed to focus mentally.

Now even with all this knowledge, there are some people who are stuck in their comfort zone and I would like to show you exactly what the thinking is and what kind of comfort zone these shooters are in.

In this video, I will be showing you a story of a drunk, searching for his car keys under the Lamp post.

A kind-hearted passerby observes this dunk and asks him.

So this passerby looks at his watch and says I've got the time, let me help him for a few minutes; we'll find the key, so he also joins him. And they both go crawling over the place searching for the keys.

And after some time, the passerby realizes, that there's no key. So he asked the drunk

have a good laugh, this is what I'm talking about the comfort zone. The drunk is in his comfort zone, he's drunk, he's happy, he's got light, so he's searching for his keys. He's there he's in his comfort zone.

Now that's precisely what 99 % of the shooters do, they are stuck in their comfort zone. And what is this comfort zone? They refuse to accept the fact that they have to learn new concepts which will improve their performance.

They prefer to go day in and day out on the shooting range, shoot, shoot, shoot, empty tins after tins after tins and then go through the roller coaster ride of ups and downs, ups and downs.

When the score goes up, they are very happy when it goes down, they are down in the dumps and they hang around in the house depressed till the next match comes along and then they say; okay, okay, this match will be different, I'm going to do these, these, things and the story keeps on repeating itself.

The reason why I'm telling all this is; I hope to shake you out of your Moorings and break you loose from the chains that you have tied yourself to a comfort zone, which is preventing you from going up and even if someone wants to help you, like in this next clip

That is exactly the situation of most shooters. They are moving around in a cart with square wheels and when someone is offering them round Wheels; no we don't have time we are happy in our comfort zone.

And it's no wonder that Shooters give up shooting after three to four years

My dear friends, your journey to your Olympic goal or whatever your goal may be in shooting to become an international shooter, is very long and it's very difficult because there are no directions, no signposts and certainly no one to guide you.

If you have a good coach you're very lucky if you don't have a good coach you are on your own and that is why I advise you, it's very simple advice ,please keep the doors of your mind open.

Let new knowledge come in, always keep your mind open to new ideas. Test them out, don't dismiss them. Try them out, use your mind.

I hope that this video has shaken you from your Moorings if you've liked this video please like it, subscribe to it, do share it and if you have any questions please contact me. The contact details are as usual, given at the end of this video.

Thank you very much and have a very good day bye.

Hello friends,

In the last two videos, we discussed the first step, which is how to make your aiming process automatic. And in the following video, I discussed step number two, which is correct trigger operation, and how to make it also automatic.

In this video, as promised, we will discuss the third and the most crucial step, which is keeping the mind focused 100 % on your automatic trigger operation, before, during after the shot is fired. This is called as mental focus follow-through, on trigger operation, and this is the most challenging aspect. Can I tell you why?

Try to keep your mind focused on one thought, just one thought. Think about anything, and close your eyes. How many seconds can you keep your mind focused on just one thought?

It's tough because when you focus on one thought, other thoughts collide with that thought, and your attention will start wavering from one thought to the other. It starts jumping, as shown in this video.

And the world's best shooters. Remember, in my video, level one, level two, level three, etc. The level one shooter shoots rows of tens because he has mastered the skill of how to keep his mind focused on just one thing: the trigger operation.

And this is the third step, which also overlaps with mental skills. Remember, in that graph, I showed you, the pie chart 90 % is mental skills, and one slice of this five percent is technical skills. And the last part, the third step of the technical skills is the mental focus overlaps with the 90 Mental skills.

How do you keep your mind focused 100 percent until you achieve proper trigger follow-through?

Again, it would be best if you had an excellent coach who would teach you all these things, or second, you could come and train with me. Subscribe to my modules on my website, www.foresightshooting.com, and I will teach you how to keep your mind focused on the trigger operation.

Once again, I'll give you a hint; you must concentrate on breathing. In the Indian tradition, concentration levels rise as you keep practicing Tratak Anulom Vilom.

And this concentration level is what we take into our trigger execution. Using the TAV exercises, we maintain a very high mental concentration, mental focus on the trigger operation before, during, and after the shot is fired.

And this is again explained in Training Methodology module number four, which is Advanced Training methodology. The third thing that we use is the AR templates, the augmented reality templates, which we have discussed in one of our previous videos, which is there on YouTube.

Using all these techniques, we learn the third and most critical aspect of shooting, which is to keep your mind focused on just one task, which is trigger operation.

In the following videos, we will discuss mental skills and learn different methods of keeping the mind focused, like a level-one shooter.

Till then, thank you very much. Like this video. Subscribe to my channel, share this video, and contact me if you have any questions. Thank you, and have a good day

Hello friends,

In the last video, we discussed how to master the aiming process, the elements of the aiming process and how to make the aiming process automatic.

Now, without mastering the aiming process, that is when the sights come into the aiming area, your sights have to be aligned, they have to be steady, and with a reduced arc of movement.

With a perfect sharp Focus, right till you execute your shot. Only when your aiming process is mastered and it is automatic will it be possible to have an automatic trigger operation.

It will not be correct trigger execution also because in proper trigger execution, your trigger should move smoothly, continuously before, during and after the shot is fired. Which is called a trigger operation follow-through.

Okay, now why must you Master the aiming process and make it automatic?

The first reason is; the moment your sights come into the aiming area, your trigger should move automatically. That is not going to happen if you take two or three seconds to get all the elements of the aiming process to your satisfaction.

Your trigger will not move continuously if your attention constantly goes to the moving sights. Your mind gets diverted to the foresight shaking, and then you wait till your foresight stops shaking, and then go back to concentrating on your trigger operation.

Then it may also happen that your mind gets distracted by the entire sight shaking, as shown in the video. You wait until the sights become steady and then go back to concentrating on your trigger operation.
Sometimes, your mind gets distracted by an improper Focus, as shown in the video. And then again, you wait to get a good focus and then again, you go back to concentrating on the trigger operation.

And sometimes, it can so happen that your mind gets distracted to the arc of movement. So you wait until your arc of movement is reduced, then you go back to concentrating on your trigger operation.
So even before the shot is fired, your mind and mental focus are completely diffused. When the shot is fired, your mental focus is completely diffused, and your shot can go anywhere.

That is why, as shown in this video, you will see the trigger stop, start, stop, start, and then eventually, there's a jerk, and the shot may go anywhere.

Also, your trigger delays for a very long time, as a result. What happens is if you take 10 to 15 seconds to execute your trigger operation. This will affect the amount of time you take to complete one shot and the longer you take to hold the pistol in the aiming area because of delayed trigger operation; this will lead to your arm getting fatigued and you getting tired.

And so, between one shot and the second shot, you will need to rest longer; this leads to time pressure. In the last 10 minutes, you'll have to shoot 10-15 shots and you know then what happens.
And that is why, unless your aiming process is mastered and is automatic, automatic trigger operation doesn't happen.

How to make your trigger operation automatic? Once again, find a good coach to give you a training plan and exercises to make your trigger automatic. First, he has to teach you how to make the aiming process automatic; only then will your trigger operation move automatically.

Alternatively, in modules three and four, in my training program on my website, you coordinate your breathing with your trigger operation. Now you will say, how do you coordinate your breathing with your trigger operation?

You can go to module number four, Training Methodology, and find the exercises. But I'll give you a hint. See, there are so many different kinds of breathing techniques that Shooters follow worldwide.

If I discuss this now, this video will last two to three hours. So go on my Training Methodology Module No. 3 and Advanced Training Methodology Module Number 4, and you will have a very detailed discussion and techniques and exercises to master your automatic trigger.

But I'll give you an idea of how this happens. When you coordinate your breathing along with your trigger, I'll give you one example, if you hold your breath, your trigger should start automatically.

The exercises to make your trigger automatic, once coordinated with your breathing, which could be holding your breath or exhaling, NRP… there are so many methods. All of them you will find and learn in my modules.
The important thing is; coordinating your breathing with your second pull and making it automatic. Besides coordinating your breathing, there is TAV exercise. These exercises are based on the Indian School of breathing and Pranayama. I have combined two pranayama methods, tratak and anulom vilom; (that's why TAV). Tratak Anulom Vilom exercises, and you coordinate it using the CUE card and make your trigger operation automatic, just like that…

In addition to that, we have AR templates. I have discussed AR templates in my YouTube videos. These AR templates. When you watch these templates and coordinate your exercises with the AR templates, you will master the automatic trigger operation in six months, guaranteed.

Now that you understand what automatic trigger operation is and how to make it automatic, in the following video, we will discuss the third step, focusing on your trigger operation before during and after the shot is fired.

Till then, if you have liked this video, do like it, subscribe to my channel, share this video, and contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you, and have a good day!

Hello friends,

In the last video, we discussed the three steps which you need to master in order to shoot a ten. And in that video, I had promised, that for all these three steps, I will be making separate videos dealing with each subject.

In this video, I will be discussing the first step, which is; what is the aiming process how do you master it? And how do you make it automatic?

The aiming process comprises three elements; first is sight alignment, second is your focus on the sights and the third is reducing the Arc of movement.

So, the aiming process is when your sights come into the aiming area; your sight should be aligned and steady, and your focus has to be sharp on the sights, till the time you achieve a correct follow-through.

And the third thing is your Arc of movement which should be reduced to the minimum, and all these three things must happen automatically. Now, when I had started shooting it was only after a year or so that my sights became steady, but you don't have to do that. Within three to six months, you can master the entire aiming process. You can have your aiming process exactly like the way it is shown in this video.

But to do that, you must train systematically and in three to six months you can master your aiming process. Now how do you master the aiming process? Go and find a good coach who will give you a training plan; systematic training of how you can have the three elements of the aiming process mastered perfectly.

Alternatively, you can come on my website, become a student and subscribe to module number two and three.

In module number three, there are training exercises that help you to master the entire aiming process. which is done through exercises one to eight. Which as I had mentioned is in Training Methodology Module number three. Now let me explain a little bit more;

I will explain to you what you are going to master and what you hope to get in training methodology.

See, there are exercises that help you to maintain a wrist lock. If your wrist is not locked, when you take the sights into the aiming area, your sights are going to move like this as shown in the video
The second thing is, you're maintaining a continuous grip pressure. So what is this grip pressure follow-through?

It means when your sights come into the aiming area. if your sights have to remain steady, then your grip has to be consistent, and the grip pressure has to be consistent before during, and after the shot is fired.

Now these two things; the grip pressure follow-through and the wrist lock follow-through; are exercises that are given in module number three. Which you can master and, in this way, your aiming process will be mastered.

Hello friends,

Let me begin this video with a funny experience when I started shooting many years ago.
During those days, a very famous personality, Mr. Bam, used to be an exponent of mental training. All of us attended his class and some of the shooters were so impressed by his mental skill training that they used to come to the shooting range for practice. They would sit on the shooting range and go into the Lotus position in a meditative trance for half an hour to 45 minutes, then shoot a few shots. That was all the training they used to do.

Now mental skills are correct, but you must also train physically along with cognitive skills. I understand shooting is all about mental skills, which is 90 percent, and 10 percent is your physical skills and technical skills. I know that, but there has to be a perfect balance.

You cannot just concentrate on mental skills and expect to shoot 580 plus, nor can you just focus on mastering your Technique and just keep on shooting shots after shots after shots and neglect mental skills.
There has to be a balance in the physical aspect, even though it is 10 percent. You have to develop your muscle groups, the specific muscle groups required for shooting 100 to 300 shots per day or even more, but that depends on how much time you have and how many images you wish to shoot. Accordingly, your physical fitness has to be there to prevent injuries and to shoot correctly. Now in this ten also the physical part of shooting There is five percent which is called the technical aspect, and this technical aspect is elementary.

You must know how to shoot a 10. That is your Technique of how to shoot a 10; it differs from shooter to shooter, there are three main steps of shooting a ten, and you have to train systematically and learn these three steps. Now the first step is mastering the aiming process and making it automatic.

The second step is mastering your trigger operation and making your trigger operation automatically

The third important thing is to keep your mental focus, attention, and concentration on the trigger operation follow-through, which is that your trigger should move smoothly continuously before, during, and after the shot is fired. Your mind has to be focused 100 on the trigger operation follow-through.

So these three steps you have to master to learn how to shoot not only one ten but rows of tens. To shoot tens consistently. In the following videos, I will focus one video on each step. One video will only focus on the aiming process and how to master it; the second will focus only on executing the trigger operation and making it automatic. The third video will be on mental focus, follow through, and how you can Master it. Please like this video, subscribe to my channel, and share this video with as many people as possible. If you have any questions, my contact details are at the end of this video. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, and have a perfect day.
