I had to actually grab my shirt collar to hold, if I would of let down he would of been gone for sure. Thanks for posting, cool video.

Post by: Becky on June 18, 2014, 01:47:57 PM: That was a good video to watch, now I know something to practice doing. I've been focusing on getting off a fast shot after the draw, but holding a shot for a long while seems like something a lot of you've experienced.

Post by: D-Rock425 on June 18, 2014, 02:30:38 PM: I think some people would have tried to force s bad shot in that situation.

Post by: Johnb317 on June 18, 2014, 02:34:32 PM: He wisely waited for his shot!!
Surprised it wasn't a full pass through.
