So, I took a long break from any serious shooting. Over the past 3 years or so, my volume of practice time and rounds down range have diminished significantly, and my skills with it. Things that used to seem automatic are now a struggle or impossible. I'm embarrassed to see how far I've fallen.
BUT! That just means it's time to get back at it and put in some work.
One of the areas I am struggling with is really seeing the sights the way I need to, and following through on the sights. Seeing them lift and calling the shot? Not even close. I've begun to wonder if my visual acuity hasn't actually declined.
So I've come to the board for suggestions. What are the best drills, dry or live, to work on really seeing the sights? Any favorite methods to drill follow through? Lay it on me. I need to fix this problem.
I have other fundamental issues creeping in, too. My trigger control is atrocious and I have a random anticipation problem, but I have methods to improve those things. I'm still open to suggestions though.
One of the big problems I've been having too, is letting it get in my head too much. Overthinking. I seem to do better when I'm just shooting away and not worried about it.
