Notable
Robbie says he competes from the end of February through October when hunting season begins. He says he likes to have some time away from competition. He says that when he competes all winter, he finds he peaks too early and gets burned out. When he takes the winter off from competition, he says he finds that he comes back hungry to win.

Quotable
"My mental game is as strong as anybody's out there. I go out there prepared. I think of beating the targets. If anything beats me, it's the targets. I don't worry about my competition. I watch my competition, but I think about my game and visualize hitting my targets."He feels, "You can program your mind to do things. Athletes, military personnel - they all train their minds to be prepared. If you want to win, you have to be prepared."
