- Equipment:

Always ensure that all air cylinders are full before a match.

Clean all pistols regularly.

- Physiological Preparation:

Please ensure that you get at least 8 hours of sleep the night before a match.

Do not do any heavy lifting or gymnastics anytime close to a match.

Have something to eat before a match, but not too much.

- Psychological Preparation:

Concentrate on the fundamentals - stance, grip, trigger squeeze, breathing and
follow-through.

- REMEMBER to look at the FORESIGHT!

Concentrate on each and every shot - don't let past shots bother you.

Do not aim for more than 20 seconds; try to fire off after 10-15 seconds of aim

Call your shots.

Look at your OWN target and avoid paying attention to how well others are doing.

Take your time and work out a rhythm; do not rush.

Take all sighter shots seriously, but do not shoot too many sighter shots, to
conserve energy.

It is good to have a target, but do not "force" yourself to shoot a given score.
Just concentrate on shooting every shot right and the score will take care of
itself.

Don't be afraid to put the gun down and rest when you are tired. You do not have to
fire a shot everytime you lift the gun.

Stop and think SERIOUSLY every time you make a bad shot - in order to avoid making
the same error, but don't harp on it.

Do not be in a hurry to make a "redeeming shot" after a bad shot.
