Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 286
The purpose of the subconscious mind is to fire the perfect shot. The subconscious mind learns this through repetition. Every complex skill requires practice to ensure that the muscles learn their parts and that they can perform flawlessly with no conscious intervention. You usually need to train about four or five days a week for best results. The quality of this practice is critical. "When you're shooting good, shoot lots" because "correct repetition is the mother of skill." Get lots of good practice. Take every opportunity.
