Self doubt

My sister asked me in an email why I think I may have entered the realm of world-class shooters with yesterday's long range performance. I guess it's a bit complicated.

I really don't know if there is a simple answer. In the last year, I've had occasional very good results (winning the 1000 yd line at Rattlesnake against a good field, an 18x shoot at 600, and this performance in the Hutton. So perhaps they are coming more frequently.

For a while I questioned if I "deserved" it. Was I shooting from a legal position? Or I would "sabotage" myself by shooting very well and dropping a point late in the string. Part of this is being in a "comfort zone". Comfortable being pretty good, but not winning the overall match.

Now, it feels more like the key for me to shooting well is remain calm, get there early, and just take it shot by shot. Not get outside myself.

The Grand starts this afternoon and I plan to carry on as I've started.
