I shot competitively for the first time in my life on Sunday. Ouch! The term "competitively" is only appropriate as a description of the attempt, not the outcome!
I am actually a decent shot when I have no adrenaline and lots of time, but when the clock started ticking, I choked.
Any hints from those who do this more often as to how to relax and just shoot? It is amazing how my shooting skills went out the window when the pressure was on.
However, I did have fun. Also, my eyes are opened as to how pressure affects accuracy. I now need to practice, practice, practice.
Any suggestions from those more experienced are most warmly welcomed!
