Aim For The Middle, AFTM, started as a bit of a running joke. Before every competition, my friends words of advice would be "just aim for the middle". The irony? In shooting, you almost never actually aim at the middle.

But the name stuck because it perfectly captures what high-level performance is really about, balance and consistency. It’s about finding that steady centre in your technique and your mindset so that the results take care of themselves.
