This trains your brain to feel that 8's are good, or at least, not bad. As you improve, you may consciously say 10s are good and 8s are bad, but your prior experience has trained your brain that 8 and 9s are good so your setting yourself up for internal conflict.

To take this a bit further, many of us unconsciously link our personal worth/value on the quality of our shooting. This sets us up for even larger failure as "good people don't shoot 'bad' shots so I must not be a 'good' shooter" because i shoot 'bad' shots". Hows that for a confidence booster from your subconscious in a match?

To go to the extreme, if your shooting 570+ and you deem 9.5 bad after years of practicing to shoot 9s and 10s, you run into the same mental issues. If you put an 8 on target, your now dealing with years of self beratement training at a critical time. That's easy to come back from, right?

I feel it's much better to judge a shot "good" by "was it on call or not". If it was, it's acceptable, regardless of where you would have preferred it to be. This way, your judging yourself on the quality/consistancy of your process, not the score on paper. This way, your process is free to improve without the emotional baggage of the occasional "bad" shot value dragging you down to to the depths of "catastrophe"

It looks ok but wish it was lettered in white. On another note the new LP500’s come with two aluminum air cylinders and not one carbon fiber cylinder.

Hi,
What trigger you are using, if you could let us know and what benefits do you obtain with the downward slope of your trigger shoe?
Thanks.

It's an Anschutz sensive trigger. I had to modify it slightly to fit on my pistol, but it does work. I use the downward slope and cant on the trigger because my trigger finger tends to come down to the shoe, instead of across at a right angle. I'm not sure why that happens, probably something I'm doing weird to get a fit on the pistol grip. It was the same situation on the pistol I had before this one too.


EDIT: attached a photo of how my trigger finger engages the trigger.

Hi and many thanks.
I guess this is the one

I might have a similar problem. The pistol drops down while going from center to sub-six as the trigger operation intensifies. It might be that the M-size grip is big for my hand, though I have sent the size of my hand to the German seller. I made some support to the palm shelf with a leather piece (upon advice from a senior member of this Forum) but not sure how much it worked.

Anyway, it feels like being able to adjust the trigger in more angles could help.
