Circadian

Post by schatzperson »

Interesting posts by pmessina and Richard H .

The scope of the original question concerned the very nature of learning the shooting process. It seemed to me that shooting requires us to learn some very minute inputs; The result of what looks like cybernetic positive feedback in the brain-sensor actions.
There are some classical effects like "hunting" ( overcorrection oscillation) that appear to support this idea.
Pistol shooting is a bit like walking a tight rope; We are constantly balancing delicate parameters that can instantly be disasterous; Moreover temporally, the demands place huge difficulties on our nervous system reaction times;
Just think of how slow our reaction times actually are and how we have to balance two windows of opportunity- one in space (sight alignment etc) and one in time (hold period).

All this seems to show that pistol shooting can be a very delicate process to learn simply because we are operating at some limits of the nervous system workings. ( think of the amount of nebulous talk we come across in attempting to describe these fleeting processes).

My contention is simply that if its so delicate and slippery, then it could be sensitive to whatever hormones humans have to deal with during the circadian cycle.
The original question is not concerned with competition time training:
But merely in finding the best times of day for the brain to LEARN the various intricacies involved.
