Thanks. Appreciate that!

EDIT: First and foremost thanks for putting out good content like this showing the process. Something to consider when getting a feel for relaxed but fast: Let your jaw go slack. If you relax your jaw you'll notice tension in your neck, then shoulders then back, etc.... Do that after you load up and before you hit the button on the timer. Even if you build tension while shooting the drill you'll be much more aware of it. Also: This is where your mindset and your visualization plays a HUGE part. If you are sure in your mind that you run sub 2 second Bill Drills then remind yourself of that in an affirmative way. "It's normal for me to get sub 2sec bill drills." Then on your visualization include what your body should feel like. i.e. Modest grip with the shooting hand, support hand crush, neck, shoulders, back, arms relaxed. Then think about the realistic sight picture you'll see. i.e. Shooting the streak. Do all of that in your mind repeatedly. Before you shoot. All of that will lead to not only faster Bill Drills but it easily translates into feeling the tension in your body and controlling fast shooting on a stage as well.

Thanks Red. Great advice. I know the importance of visualization but I don't work a lot of the detail you describe into it. It's one of those things that are harder to do than appears. A buddy of mine forces himself to yawn as the last part of his make ready routine. I think this is similar to your suggestion of slacking the jaw. I will definitely try to incorporate this stuff. I've gotten much better about shooting relaxed but it still needs some work at times and can use every 'cheat code' I can get.

@@AlexanderSotelo Yeah 100%. Detailed visualization is practiced skill. The more you do it the easier it gets but you have to practice. Not to plug my own pod cast but if you check that out there is an episode that goes over the how-to and benefits of visualization.

I'm going to try this jaw thing for sure. Also, I'm just starting out with the visualization stuff and it's proven more difficult than I thought it would be.

@shookme6727 Visualization is a challenge and it’s probably one of the later skills that people develop. The irony is that it’s probably one of the things that contribute most to match performance. My visualization skills have come a long way but there is still improvement to be made. Probably the most critical for me is consistency. Visualizing every stage with the same amount of detail regardless of difficulty or importance of the match. I have a tendency to become abbreviate my visualization on certain stages and often it bites me.

Great content . Real training . Not a million tries to put one run on the gram

Thanks man. All the videos I post are of my training. I post the good with the bad. It helps me to stay accountable but also I hope it’s relatable to others on the same journey as me to becoming a better shooter.

Damn, tempted to buy that brass collector 😂
