Hi all,
I'd like to discuss here about training without the target

Further to this ...

I've just been out shooting in the back garden, 12.5 metres. Shot
maybe four dozen then realised what I actually needed was some help
or someone telling me, or showing me where, how and what, I'm doing
'wrong'.

Anyway, remembered a 'broken' video camera we had, it wouldn't work
when tapes were put in, but had a good video signal etc. So, video
camera on a tripod, connected to Laptop via a Dazzle80 'thing' and
started filming myself.

What a revelation. Actually watching what I do with my hands and
fingers is a bit of an eye-opener and shows that my 'style' is
somewhat awry, but gives me good clues to how to change little bits.

Anyone else do this?

not directly, in real time, that's a cracking idea. Will have to try
to set it up, it'd be an even better coaching tool than recording it
to look at later.

It's quite good. I found I could do it by acident really. I knew the
camera was no good, but I hate to throw 'stuff' away, so it's sat in a
box in a cupboard for a few years. Then whilst in the garden I thought
of how I could 'see' what I'm doing and thought about the video capture
thing I had that I knew works on the laptop ... so dug the video cam
out et voila ... ;)

As a bonus it does also record direct to the laptop what I do, so I can
both see it in real time and I can watch it later, best of both.

.... Now if I can dig the old multimedia projector out, everyone around
could also see me ... ;)
