Anyone who reads books on sports psychology often encounters the same knitting pattern: relaxation, positive thinking and 'flow' experiences at the decisive moment of the competition. Whoever does this, so the promise goes, will soon hurry stress-free from victory to victory. This beautiful story is then explained using the example of a well-known sportsman, who - who wonders - was supervised by the author of the book.

 

   We have been looking after top shooters in major tournaments for decades, most recently at the Olympic Games in London and Rio. We experience them in the months before the start, in the days, hours and minutes before. And then in the final, the decisive final shot. Loose, relaxed and positive, however, we have never met anyone before! Certainly not those who got away with gold or silver.

 

   That's why we have written a book on sports psychology that corresponds to our experiences. It tells of heart palpitations, tension, breathing difficulties. About negative thoughts, blockades, rough mistakes and - how to still be halfway respectable. The sporting competition is a psychological drama, but there are coping strategies. These are what the 'psyche of the shot' is about.

 

 

...a few testpages below...

In decisive moments, it's our psyche that tips the balance. Whether you achieve your goal or not is dependent on your thoughts and feelings, and on your behavior most of all.

This book is a guide to how you can systematically prepare for tournaments and other stressful moments. It contains 1000 pictures, 200 exercises, a 6-week training plan and audio files on the techniques of psychological regulations.

Home training: DryFire/Trockentraining

DRYFIRE

Space is available in the smallest hut: three to four meters are enough to to carry out the position andto train the movement sequences. Ideally you should use a SCATT, which allows AR and 

.22 simulation. A 'session' costs little time, but brings enormous training effects.       

   Valuable services are provided by a mirror that shows you at any time, how your position is aligned. A poster on the wall reminds you of the most important rules.

   The training target must hang at the correct height, so that the exact feeling is produced. And it should appear in the right proportions. So that the proportion

of the aiming spot is preserved in the grain. 

   To help you find the right size and height of your to facilitate training target, we have top  

three diagrams. 

   At the top the size of the mirror depending on the distance. If you have less than 10 meters to hang up your DF-target you should have a smaller black circle. You can get this with the SCATT program printed (SCATT.com) or even with the template upstairs. 

   Simply measure the distance in meters in your room (from the muzzle of the barrel to the training goal) and then take the value (e.g. 7 metres = 22 mm).  

 

   The height of the training target is shown in the template below. 

Here you connect the height of your eye when aiming (in position) with the height of the actual target (in your club or at the next competition). Mostly these are 140 cm, the rules allow a height of 135 - 145 cm (centre of the black disc). 

On the connecting line you now search for your distance to training disk. The point of intersection gives you the right height on. So in the example: 

170 cm eye-level  = 158 cm DF target if the 'real' target is on 140 cm.
