Shooting Training Session for Young Women: Air Rifle Training and the Growing Role of Women in Sport
Mental Training in Precision Shooting
One of the defining characteristics of air rifle shooting is the importance of mental control.
Athletes need to manage pressure while maintaining a repeatable routine.
A shooter who becomes distracted by a previous poor shot may struggle to maintain performance.
Mental preparation can therefore be as important as physical preparation.
Competitive shooters may develop pre-shot routines that help them establish the same sequence before every attempt.
This can include checking posture, controlling breathing, establishing sight alignment and focusing attention on the target.
Young athletes can begin learning these habits during training.
