It’s common knowledge, we’re all happy when the targets are breaking, and rightfully so. Along with this happiness…many are then mystified by the ongoing absence of any real improvement in their shooting. Understandably…it being our nature…our final score seems to always get the most attention. And why not…score is important, right? Yes, it is. What’s being overlooked, however, is how to build higher scores, consistently.In my 3rd book…”Beyond The Target” …I discuss a skill improvement process called Kaizen.
