[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1709935, member: 63925"] I use to have the same problem....then I retired and voila! It went away...I don't have to cram everything every range sitting to accomplish what I want. I know I have another day to shoot. I know this may sound simplistic but set your range goals such that you are not pushed up against any time restraints to allow yourself to "breathe" and "enjoy" while you are at the range. We all sometimes push ourselves to get everything done on a certain time line since we are all pushed for time except when you retire.... When you are trying to shoot as much as you can on any given day due to life time constraints, you certainly can generate stress tension as time slips away on that day. I know, I was once in same boat and it got worse as I sat there waiting for rifles to cool down. I would fidget and put my hand on the barrel a hundred times to gauge temp. Then years ago I started using air pumps to cool down barrel faster. Added IR temp scanner to watch the temperature drop to a certain level so I could shoot and and start the fidget cycle all over again. Thank goodness that fidget spinner wasn't around back then... Did I mentioned I am retired? [/QUOTE]
