Where is your mental process for each course of fire? I've shot a few matches, all NMC stuff and can usually pull off a bronze EIC which is not that great considering I'm getting there with scores around 235.
Last year when I shot I struggled for most of two weeks, I was as fine as I could be on slowfire but struggled with timed and rapid. Even though the times are generous compared to IPSC pace I'm used to I was freezing up, 1,000 lb finger, jerking, etc. The evening before the last match I finally did get my head right and my score went to 239 which was an achievement after a week in the 180-190s. I was even more happy because the 81-3x was a passable 50 yard score given the loaner gun and the gusting 25 mph wind across the line that was blowing down scopes and boxes.
Basically, when I know there is time pressure I blank out when the targets turn. The standard advice to break the first shot as soon as it turns does not work for me yet, probably because I'm not already moving the trigger. Then I shoot too fast.
I have to have a very conscious thought, I think what worked was me repeating to myself "sights, keep the trigger moving."
So, for each stage, what are the mental parts of your thought process?
