buzz,
Things like the wind changing, cars driving by, planes, dogs, don't faze me. I don't even hear them. I can even shoot fine with a little low db conversation behind me, although that is very rude. But if I start changing chokes for a particular station, or changing loads to suit it I am getting my thoughts away from where they need to be before stepping into the box. It is just counterproductive for me.
I tried shooting a Perazzi of mine at a major shoot a couple Saturdays ago, convincing myself that because that course was in the woods and there were no birds on it over 30 yds., I would need to change choke tubes. Shot the worst score I have shot on a course in years, a total blowout. Went out the next morning with my other MX-8 with fixed .020" chokes and shot a score that was 19 birds over the previous days score, on a course just as difficult!
Yeah, there is a lot more of it in my head than I would like to admit.
