MM3 -- Effectiveness of Repetition

[montana]

Every person is different when it comes to muscle memory. Learning to properly pull a trigger when the sights are lined up under stress of combat or competition in a split second and being aware of ones surrounding all in the same time is the goal of all shooting abilities. I have learned that a students emotional state can help or inhibit their progress in learning. My wife took a long time to become proficient with a firearm where my daughter took to it like a duck to water. My daughter was raised around firearms and shooting where she would help pick up brass and help score at shooting matches. My wife was never exposed to shooting when she was young and had a natural fear that only slow, patient instruction and practice over came her fear of shooting. Make the practice sessions fun for the students with encouragement and accomplishments, and they will come back for more. Get too rigid with certain students and they will never return ," know your students".

How many repetitions?
