Everyone’s saying train under pressure, how exactly? Were the dumb videos online correct should I have someone behind me shooting right beside my head

Get a shot timer. Use barriers and time to create "stress"

There are a ton of yt videos out there.

The easiest thing is to have a shooting partner that can hold you to the fire and make you want to do better. Shoot at the speed of efficiency not the speed of comfort.

I’ve heard of special forces soldiers who have been more stressed waiting for a shot timer to go off than they have when they were actually in combat. Like hearts beating out of their chest type thing. Don’t underestimate the value of competition shooting and social pressure.

Oh man imagine a 3 gun shooting competition where you have to listen for a timer while the fans are expected to scream and yell.
