Sorry, I missed that. Which hypothesis?
but dont you look at the target when you pull the trigger and not the front or back sight?
Heh, heh, I had to look up the definition. I wasn't sure if I had misused the word.(wink)
Cool that was the right word. That would be that she has studied under Ronnie. Perhaps even indirectly. Her last shot on the blue showed that she had no hesitation in shooting Lefty. Her wry expression made me think she's a work in progress. :thumb up:Dictionary said:
seems to me she is looking at the object bal last in the beginning of the clip
btw
helluva stop shot at around 1:10
??? WHAT UP? I thought we were engaged in a cordial discussion. My hypothesis would be that I am being shunned.
that was not my question
with the shot gun do you look at the sights and What it does downrange is collateral damage.....
or do you focus on the target?
Ok. 'Cause she almost certainly is looking at the object balls.
Gotta interject here. That rifle analogy to pool is half baked at best. In a rifle, the firing mechanism is entirely machined to close tolerances. And the strikes are the size of the bullet. In pool you are part of the firing mechanism and the target now becomes the cue ball. Further, the bullet is the object ball and may be quite a distance away. Precision at the cue ball will go the longest way toward accuracy. It has to. It's all you have to work with.
so
do you look at the cus ball last when YOU play?
Nah. My shotguns didn't have sights, well a bead, so sight not sights. It was barrel point. I was taught a nifty barrel point using a bb gun and toss an aspirin tablet up and shoot it. From the hip it was easy.that was not my question

thanks for the reply
I've been doing it for decades. First only on long shots from the end rail - that was in the 90s and more recently (last 5, 10 years, on every shot and particularly on anything tree topped. It takes the "confirmation bias" out of shooting where you are influenced by the perceived angle and start adjusting to that instead of simply lining the shot up and shooting <that>.
Howdy All;
I believe (you don't have to), that we can only attempt to control things that we have direct
contact with. Whatever happens after that is considered to be (IMHO), incidental influence.
I would and try really hard to just concentrate on what I can/maybe influence. I look at the CB
last.

The one handed GOAT was Ronnie Allen. Has led me to making one handed my first morning exercise. I kind of like the feeling when I surprise myself. However Ronnie's legendary shot at Whitey's place in Tacoma humbles me.
With all 6 pockets of the table containing money. He made the one handed spot shot with no rail. One attempt for all the money.

Is that the masse jump hybrid? Seen Massey do it on an 8 footer. Never seen anything like it.
I didn't get to see the shot. Just got the story from a reliable source. Somewhere in the archives of this site should be a thread discussing this shot. I will see if I can find it.
