Shooters tip of the month...

Reading targets / Break Point:

While on a shooting get away last week on the east coast of Florida I was able to shoot 3 great courses and a total of 64 different stations. I saw a lot of presentations. My take away was that the targets that fooled me weren't the long targets but the the ones that just simply fooled me....either my lack of focus and mainly what the target was doing at the break point.

Always give the target your best focus at the break point. Pay attention to exactly what "the birds" leading edge is doing at your break point.
