I have not posted here for some time but I have been shooting. Lorrie and I are just enjoying ourselves at the local matches. Anyway, one of the things I am doing in the mean time is trying to get better at Photography and I read the following blog post:

http://strobist.blog...-ourselves.html

It really struck me how similar this can be to shooting. If you miss a "shot" whether in photo or shooting you have to be honest with yourself. You can do one of 2 things, either deny the fact that something went wrong OR figure out what went wrong (or right) and learn from it. David, the "strobist", says that long time pros have "surgically separated their egos from their photographs." Perhaps that too can be said about the worlds top shooters (Guns that is )?

Nice post Ira - real food for thought there (and the article) on several levels.

I like that one. Shooters could say - Separate your ego-self from your performance.
