Hi,
I'm wondering how other senior shooters experience ageing and feeling evolution in some physical/mind abilities.
For instance I'll soon turn 55 and my vision begins to deteriorate, which is normal at that age. It is mostly the easiness to control precise eye focus and keep that for a long time at the highest level I can, like in a competition. Another thing is some tiny muscular tremor that tends to increase at some moments in the day, and more generally irregular physical strength along the day, which affects my body stability and the shoulder/arm very stable strength required for pistol shooting. But good things at least to me comprise always increasing breath control, better ability to shoot between heartbeats, better proprioception in general which helps feel the need to abort your shooting sequence when all is not correctly in place, and better ability to immerge into the activity and letting everything else away, therefore better mind focus...
Any experience anyone would like to share on this subject?
