Blog Article - Luther Cutts
PRE-SHOT PLANNING
AUTHOR: LUTHER CUTTS, HEAD INSTRUCTOR (NSCA LEVEL 3), COMPETITOR
 
As shooters progress and improve, most find that the actions they take before the call for the target have a significant impact on their success in breaking the target. I have heard it said that up to 75% of targets are lost before the shooter calls for the target. I suspect there are other techniques that can help with shooter consistency, but I teach and advocate themethods advanced by the NSCA Instructor Program, namely, “Pre-shot planning” and “Pre-shot routine”. There can be some confusion regarding these two important practices, so I will attempt to bring some clarity to each of these constructs – Pre-shot planning in this monthly installment, and Pre-shot routine in the next piece.

Feature Artist Gwen Day
" Down the Path of Peace "
(is available for viewing at the Silver Willow Gun Brothers Cafe)

This was inspired from an incredible hike in the amazing Rocky Mountains in Waterton National Park. This was a very exciting piece to create in the studio as I recalled our three day adventure with such fond memories. The lush green undergrowth off set by the dead standing trees was such a contrast and a message of hope. I have always loved the larch trees in the fall, they seem to celebrate the change of seasons with their magical golden glow. This is one of those paintings you need to see in person!

  • Artwork size: 36″ X 24 "
  • Finishing: Cradled Birch Panel (2” depth) ready to hang
  • Finished size: 36″X 24″
  • Medium: Oil and Cold Wax
