We all want progress to be linear, which it is most definitely not. To illustrate this point, I ask my shooters to take a piece of paper and a waterproof marker. Then they are to place their hand on the paper, with fingers spread wide. If the start of the journey (whatever \u201cthe journey\u201d may be for you, whether it\u2019s the whole shooting career you\u2019re picturing or learning the technique of a single shot, doesn\u2019t matter, as long as it\u2019s something that has a beginning and an end, a destination) is at one side of the wrist, your point A, and the end is on the other side, your point B, the only viable way to get from point A to point B is to trace the fingers up and down. But before we do that, I ask them to try to find a shortcut between the two points, which would require them to draw a line across their wrist, as this is the shortest way from the \u201cbeginning\u201d to the \u201cend\u201d. And so they draw a line, with the waterproof marker, on their wrist, connecting points A and B. The problem with this solution is, as I then explain to them, is that we THINK that we\u2019re doing something, working towards something, getting from point A to point B effectively; but in reality, there\u2019s actually no trace of our work and it is useless \u2013 the line vanishes as soon as we lift our hand off the paper; there\u2019s no mark on the paper, as if we never drew it in the first place \u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dce52e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2dce52e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/drawing-qs99d8z2jgspmw7z7nn34ceou52l1ifrhkc3ciaw6m.jpg\" title=\"drawing\" alt=\"\u017diva Dvor\u0161ak drawing the hand model on a piece of paper\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/267;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6b9c81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e6b9c81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>So the first point of this exercise is to demonstrate that if we search for shortcuts and are tempted to half-ass, we get nowhere. Even worse, we can develop a bunch of bad habits and build up a lot of frustration along the way, putting in useless work. To get to where we want, we must trace the fingers up and down, which is a great visual demonstration of the path of the progress, we go up, then in order to continue, we must come down; we climb and then we fall. And we repeat it. And even if we don\u2019t like it, even if we resist it, even if it\u2019s long(er) and hard(er), this is THE way that will take us to the goal, the point B, and that is the path, the only one, that will leave its mark on the paper.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The second part of the visual demonstration involves the actual drawing of the hand and the fingers. This is how I help my students understand the development and the parts of a shot process (but it could be anything, really). Bottom line being: you can\u2019t start at the end, you can\u2019t jump to the end; you have to GET to the end, and you have all five fingers to go through before you can get to the end (or you\u2019ll just end up with a line across your wrist with nothing to show for it on the paper).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bc5328 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2bc5328\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/shortcut-scaled-qs99fd3zx1oxrb5dv2jv8b70ycnbczu0s16f7x608u.jpg\" title=\"shortcut\" alt=\"A hand on a piece of paper with a drawn horizontal line across the wrist symbolizing a shortcut\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/275;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8e3da7e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8e3da7e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-59436e8\" data-id=\"59436e8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa9fbc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa9fbc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Finger 1: Shot Process<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-28ccac5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"28ccac5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-34e073e\" data-id=\"34e073e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4a8ae3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4a8ae3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The first finger represents creating the shot process \u2013 the simple act of establishing the steps of your shot.

How do you do it? Quality repetition will totally do. You can effectively practice it both on and off the range, with actual shooting practice or visualisation, mindfully repeating the steps of the process over and over. If visualisation practice is something that you struggle or are not completely comfortable with, please do not despair. One shot a day to start out with will be sufficient. You only need 2 minutes a day, every day, to build a habit that sticks. Don\u2019t push or overextend yourself. Start with 1 shot or 2 minutes a day.

Maybe you\u2019ll be able to apply your shot process efficiently for only 10 shots, to begin with, if even that; then you might lose focus or grow tired or impatient or whatever demons surface during shooting to try and steal the show. So be it. The forth finger is where we extend the application of the shot process. Patiently and systematically. We want to extend it so that we\u2019re capable of following it for the whole 60 shots of competition. That takes time. And patience. And courage. And work. The goal is to get ourselves into a repeat mode, a mindful automatisation, like clockwork. Stick with it. We\u2019re nearly done with the fourth finger, and we still have a finger to go, so you shouldn\u2019t expect flawless execution to match your shot process application just yet. Chances are, if you stick to the process and follow the model carefully, you are already going to see your result improving or your execution taking shape even before you reach the fifth finger, but let\u2019s not jump the gun yet (shooting pun intended, #2); that\u2019s neither the goal nor the focus of the fourth finger. You might be following the process closely and carefully, but the execution might still not come out quite right, be it technically, physically or mentally. This is what we\u2019re after with the fifth finger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0b490e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e0b490e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Finger 5: Precise Execution<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4c6bec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4c6bec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Once you\u2019re able to follow your shot process consistently for 60 shots or the duration of the match, you move onto the fifth finger, where you focus on the precise execution, closely following the shot process you have created, learned, internalised, and put into consistent practice. That\u2019s where application and execution meet. Consistent application = consistent execution = consistent result. Mind you, even reaching the fifth finger does not guarantee you lasting consistency and it will require work, awareness, mindfulness and commitment from you for every single shot, and you will still see ups and downs (because progress is not linear). The point is that you should not be expecting to execute perfectly until you reach the fifth finger in the first place (not that perfection even exists, but for the lack of a better term, I use this word).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55d055e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"55d055e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/hand-model-qs99jkg0hdg3oj1kbdysvr08ldxes9it0u7lhgxmfc.jpg\" title=\"hand model\" alt=\"A hand drawn on a piece of paper illustrating the hand model of progress\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/276;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c8939f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c8939f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>By following this model step by step, mastering each \u201cfinger\u201d thoroughly and completely before moving on to the next one, you provide yourself with a better chance of finding\u00a0<em>your shot <\/em>and establishing consistency; you give yourself the highest possible opportunity of getting from point A to point B with the fewest number of detours.
