I thought that I'd ask the questions here.

I have been having trouble writing effective match plans in my last few competitions and my results have been suffering as a result.

Who uses them? What do you put in them? Does that work for you? How do you evaluate its effectiveness afterwards?

Any advice from new shooters or more experienced is appriciated

What have you been putting in your match plan then that's caused a deterioration of results ?

In everything you do you need to have a goal, be it training or competition. So set yourself goals for every session and every match and at the end evaluate and take some learnings. As always stick to the positive, but you can also identify 'areas to work on' - just don't do that mid session / match.

Here is a basic Match Plan taken from my book.

I also layout a shot plan for any shooters I coach. The shot plan is more beneficial as it keeps the shooters doing the simple things correctly.

About 6 steps to fire ONE GOOD SHOT. i.e. Raise Pistol & feel trigger, Lower through centre of Target, Settle, Press whilst getting sights aligned, Follow through.

I don't advocate the shooters say this sequence during the firing of the shot, it's just a check list inbetween the shots to keep the mind focused on the task at hand.
