Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 237
The subconscious mind will move you toward what the conscious mind is picturing. As we move toward a life-and-death situation, we need to make sure the conscious mind is picturing the right thing. It needs to be on "wide scan" as we make the approach, alert to everything around us. When we need to fire the shots, we need to go "narrow attention control" just long enough to fire effective shots and then immediately back on wide scan. Put the conscious mind on situational awareness and let the subconscious mind deliver the skills.
