. need a purpose when I go to the range and giving myself something specific to work on helps me focus on the problems and keeps me from falling back into just hitting shots I know I can hit. There's nothing wrong with positive reinforcement and I do indeed hit the "good shots" there as well, but I generally do so to remind myself that I can hit good shots especially when I'm having problems with the the shots I can't hit as well rather than just spending my time hitting nothing but good shots.
