I seem to always have one bad line that ruins a potentialy really good score, never been able to work out why that happens, is it just me ?

 
Is it usually the first or last lines. If its first then probably not switched on. If its the last then you might be getting tired.

 
Stay away from cocaine during shooting.
Laugh out loud.....I just read all that again and......quite right shooting is not mentioned.....

A classic example of how innocent posts can be miss read. Well done Clever.

You just earned your name :kiss:

Happens to me too all the time. Usually its a bad first round for me, cause Im still half asleep I guess

 
Mine doesnt seem to follow a pattern of 1st or last, the little sod creeps in anywere.

 
I thought trap shooters must be on something. There's no way anyone could do that every week without a little stimulus.
Weeeeellllll, not necessarily.  Judging from comments made by trapshooters that I've seen or heard point more to simply dull and stupid.   No one can argue that the activity requires any intellect.  But then, the whole mob of crockery breakers pretty much fall in the same category.  And don't get me started on people that shoot holes in paper - - OMG!  I think I'd rather learn Klingon.  I'm sure they have clubs too.

I could be wrong, but ....................

I would guess it's an adjustment from your self image and expectation. So if your shooting above your average it will pop up or if you have it early you will shoot the rest better. So it becomes a self perpetuating situation.

True think what you are saying is.

like I've said before, we tend to live in a comfort zone. Subconsciously you go live in it and will adjust to comply.

Everyone will have a bad line. Even if you shoot 100 straight at DTL every week. One line will have more chippy kills than the others which were all balls of dust.

Nobody's perfect.

Just trying to be is what makes it interesting.
