Great scores from the Grand Prix, but look at the standing of the American shooter including his finals. Anyone ever heard of this shooter? I have yet to see of him in competition?

Checking the
ISSF database, he shot in 3 World Cups in 2009 and the CAT in 2010.

Got to meet him during the NRA Intercollegiate Championships and he was a great help to me. He's pretty close to my size too which is probably why his technique worked well with me (I'm 6'5", he's 6'4" I think) he actually raised my standing scores 10 points per card. And when I looked at his scores I saw he has the same problem I do, kneeling. Good grief do I hate kneeling.

George Norton is a great guy. He is on the AMU and a very great guy. He is very nice and easy to talk to. He won Camp Perry a few years ago...

He taught at one of our AMU Camps. Very good guy. The kids still talk to him.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. It was a great range with great conditions and all I did was execute good shots. Sounds like I'm demeaning the effort, but that is the truth. Thomas Tamas created a great drill focusing on shot execution and that is what made it happen. Again thanks for the kind words.

Can you share any part of this great drill that helped focus on shot execution? Always looking for something new for my junior shooters!

No problem...
It is a simple drill utilizing a coach giving the load commands to a shooter like in a final. The shooter needs to be honest with themselves on their execution. If it was perfect execution, the shooter gets a point. If it was not, they have to reset the points. I personally have only achieved 8 points. The score of the shot does not matter, only the execution, ie fallow through, shoot on the move etc. Everyone knows what a perfect shot looks like (need a reminder, try shooting off a bench). This drill reinforces perfect execution while putting stress on the shooter from the tally getting higher.
Again, all thanks goes to Thomas Tamas, creator of "the game".
