Greg's comments are exactly on the money. It is very hard for most of us to learn to abort the shot and put the pistol down when it does break in accordance with our shot plan.
I have learned the hard way that the thought: "If I hold on just a little longer, I can do this" is the surest route to shooting a 7 or a 6. Conversely, it is extremely satisfying to successfully abort a potential shot that somehow deviated from your shot plan, restart the process and break a solid 10.

I was told several years ago that when you abort a shot you should congratulate yourself for not throwing away a good 10, which I now do every time (mentally).

Strangely enough it seems to work; re-inforcing the fact that the abort was a good positive decision.

Hi,

I have been doing nothing for the last three days. Shooting was beginning to possess me, I did a little dry firing and put the pistol away.
I will begin again today and see how I fare. I will make a deliberate effort to be alert for shots that shouldn't be taken.
