I don't think I've mentioned this before, so I'll give it a go. I have developed not really a fear but more of a mental road block really. But we're coming up on a year with this now and I still haven't managed to get over it. So I need help.
Me and my Sig are not on the best of terms right now. I've been burned by casings many times, but a year ago I had one come back at me and land behind my glasses right on my bottom eyelid. I am sure the pain does not need to be described, because I am sure I am not the only one here to experience it.
But now, when I shoot, I tend to shut my eyes just as I squeeze the trigger. I can't seem to break myself of this. I don't do it with my revolver and I have a nice tight grouping with it. But when I shoot my Sig, obviously, there are holes all over the place and no noticeable grouping at all.
This only seems to be an issue when I shoot at ranges with a three second rule. When I rapid fire, not too much of an issue, for some reason, and there is suddenly a grouping again. I guess because I have less time to think about it (and in that "ooo! shiny!" mentality, I get mesmorized watching the slide go at those speeds).
Anyway, does anyone know of any little practices or anything that can help break this little mental issue? I work at a range with a 3 second rule and it is more ecconomical for me to shoot there (it's free for employees) instead of paying to use a range with no 3 second rule. Plus, sometimes I just want to practice slow. Help!
