shoulder muscles

In what state do you have your shooting arm shoulder muscles while shooting bullseye? Relaxed, or "locked"?

I wouldn't say locked but under tension. When you stand 45 degrees to the target and extend the shooting arm, the shoulder muscles are under tension. Locked could cause trembling as the muscles fatigue. Loose will cause the whole arm to relax and that just causes all kinds of problems, not to mention loss of focus.

Hope this helps.
