New shooter here--been shooting sixty years, have had a concealed carry permit for twenty years, competed in about a half dozen matches, retired soldier, retired anti-terrorist security officer, experienced military armorer and small arms instructor--we are all beginners! Match competition provides some shooter stress, but don't buy a new gun, fail to so much as read the manual, and take it and a box of bullets to the gun range to compete against other shooters. If you don't get tossed off the range for safety violations, you still will have problems competing. One time on a security contract in the Middle East I was given the opportunity to demonstrate 100-meter pistol accuracy with the M9 pistol and M882 ball ammo--during a low-grade sandstorm. In that "put up or shut up" event I was able to hit the silhouette 80% of the time at 100 meters (rollover prone) and then I used that training moment to instruct the contract's training manager in pistol shooting. He needed more confidence--he rated "expert" on our pistol course (to 35 meters) and scored 100% hits at 50 meters, but only 15% at 100 meters. An arrogant degree of confidence sufficient to focus on sight picture and trigger squeeze was the key to long range marksmanship--the group center drop was something like a half-foot at 100 meters, a foot and a half at 150 meters and four feet at 200 meters--but I didn't have the resources to fire past 100 meters. Note that my drop figures were approximations. My excuse is that I wouldn't always have an agency-issue M16A2 rifle that I had zeroed myself and I might really need to shoot back beyond the 35-meter qualification distance. I was the contract's armorer and I knew that all 185 pistols were good to go, even though they slightly differed from each other. Overconfidence is a problem, but under fire that overconfidence vanishes in a cloud of self-doubt. Training is synthetic experience. To be effective training that synthetic experience, that structured playtime, has to come close to real world so that when the real world gets ugly, it won't shake confidence. Reports from the sandbox indicated that American military training was close enough to real-world that "it was like training with live ammo." I didn't get shot at while in the Middle East (yes, I was lucky) any of the three times I worked there--the last as a deployed Army National Guard soldier. Confidence comes from surviving experience--and learning from it. When the experience is too intense and outside previous training (synthetic experience) the mindset goes from "I can handle this" to "MAMA! HELP ME MAMA!"

The "lean-back" hahahahahaha!. I see it all the time. Then they admire their work on each shot. Honey, this isn't an art museum! This vid was right on the money, thanks.
