[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1420048, member: 1521"] Practice remembering and doing everything -until it becomes second nature. At that point it's naturally simple to cover it all, and too awkward otherwise. On a GH hunting trip to a farm not visited in ~5yrs, I was surrounded by chucks everywhere. Killed about 30 right off the bat but was missing nearly half my shots.. This is a big problem for me, so I was sure there was an equipment problem of some sort. The next day I brought my son with me just to rule out MY shooting(he is the best shooter I've ever seen). On his first shot I watched his natural routine and it dawned on me that I was not minding my level. In all the excitement I guess I just forgot about it. This is the highest mountainous area of Pennsylvania, where nothing is actually level. I had spent most of the year prior to this hunt shooting on the NC coastline, where level is never a concern. Anyway, I watched him hit shot after shot, 100%, and with that reset I finished well too. But my son hadn't fired a gun in a few years to that point. So I asked him how he remembered every detail like that. He looked at me funny and reminded that I taught him(~20yrs earlier), it's the only way he knows. [/QUOTE]
