MDS Episode #0009: Connecting your mind to your rifle.
In this episode Caylen and Phil go into a free-flowing conversation that encompasses mindset, the phases of consciousness as it relates to the learning process, setting intentions, meditative states while shooting, and ultimately asking the question about what's really possible with a rifle. A different flavor than that of the recent technical conversations, we enjoyed this flow.

There is a Zen Buddhist story call “The Ten Oxherding Pictures”. It is about the progression of the mind exactly with what you guys were talking about with ignorance and mindfulness.

Listening to episode 9 reminded me of reading one of my favorite old books: Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. But for rifles. Great stuff.

The way mindful shooting was explained to me (and hopefully I'm getting this correct and remembering it right) was: Think of carrying a full glass of water, if you just carry it, without thinking of it you generally don't spill, if you're concentrating on not spilling you'll most likely spill. Our mind is capable of so much more than we think, that's why when we carry a full glass of water and were not actively thinking of it we generally don't spill. Yet we're still aware that we're doing it, we're aware that we have a glass full of water, but our unconscious mind just takes over and does what's necessary to carry it and not spill. And everyone does this in some way everyday, and if you can get to the point where you can do it with a rifle you'll be really good. I use to shoot league trap, and I was pretty decent not the best but I shot among the best (in that trap league) and could beat them sometimes. But if I ever thought about what I was doing my scores would go way down, but if i just did it, I did pretty good. And if you were to break down everything required to shoot a moving target it's pretty complex, but if you let your mind do it, it's pretty easy.

Check out their technology podcast (I think?). They chat about temp, DA, and making calls without being dependent on that number.
