Hi Stuart:
Here is a tip that was given to myself and SacLawman about a year and a half ago from Bruce Gray. We were talking to him about our practise times were getting faster against each other, but our accuracy was going to pot with a lot of points down. We would then slow down and get better acuracy but felt slow as cold grease.
This is what he adviced and we did with great results. During your practise time, only use the timer to start you and try for total accuracy no matter how long it took. Place a piece of target tape over the timer window so you are not tempted to go back to checking your time. It was a little odd at first, but we finally got the used to it. We did this on all of our drills that we had been doing.
What this does is to place your conscious and subconscious mind on accuracy above speed. The human brain can not sense time well when it is under stress so that some things seem slow when is fast and vice-versa. Now you have put accuracy first and the speed will be what it will be. When you are at match conditions, you will go things faster anyway but your smoothness of accuracy, shorter transition times, better trigger control will happen with your subconscious on accuracy priority, not speed. Then you will see an improvement in times without trying do go faster. The mind is an amazing thing. We just try to over engineer it.
