When at the shooting line…….

I will completely disconnect with my exteriors & seamlessly connect with my interiors.

When at the shooting line…….

I’ll always be super consciously aware of perfection in form, flawlessness in technique And totality in focus.

When at the shooting line…….

My greatest strength will be the power of my patience, Unwavering positivity despite a bad shot! A pathetic end!, A horrible set & dismal shooting.

When at the shooting line…….

I will get locked into an imaginary cage of mental concentration, never ever get distracted By thoughts, sights, sounds, people, happenings & my competitor.

When at the shooting line…….

There will be an uninterrupted fusion of my soul to mind, mind to body, body to bow, Bow to arrow & arrow to “X” in the target !”
