⭐ FULL DESCRIPTION (Main Body for Wix)
The Visualization Sequence Guide teaches shooters how to mentally “run the round” before stepping into the box. Visualization is one of the strongest tools in mental performance — it activates the same neural pathways used in live shooting, helping your subcortex trust the movement before the shot ever happens.
This worksheet walks you through a full, detailed visual sequence at all five trap posts, allowing you to build consistency, reduce nerves, improve target recognition, and strengthen your shot flow. It’s the exact process competitive shooters use to prime their brain for success.
Whether you're preparing for practice, a weekend ATA event, or a major competition, this visualization guide helps you enter the round calm, sharp, and mentally rehearsed.
