Seriously...this poll needs better definition.
Relaxing is not thinking of your girl friend or your wife or both.

Thats for sure!
Between shots, I usually look downrange, at the leaves moving in the wind, or a bird flying in the distance. Nothing that takes much thinking. If it's windy, I listen to the wierd whistling sounds, made from wearing ear plugs. I then can give my concentration to "seeing" the target when it's my turn. Staying thought free between shots helps keep me relaxed, and in the zone.
I hate it when something intrudes on that thought free time. I was shooting caps at one comp, had money on myself in the calcutta. Ran 24,24, then for some stupid reason I thought about my sister, who I was having some problems with. I even said to myself, "for chrisake, don't think about that now!" :evil: :? Then shot a 21, 22, for a total of 91. 5 pays in the calcutta. Top money went for a 96. 95, 94, 2-93's all paid...

Boy was I mad at my sister...

Blank mind makes for better shooting!
