[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2022741, member: 2736"] There are many techniques that can help and here are just some of them. No matter what your normal heart beat is you can slow it by taking one or two deep breaths. and exhaling as you squeeze the trigger. (The extra oxygen will slow your pulse rate because of the momentary extra oxygen. If you are shooting prone, there are some other things that might help. 1 = Don't lay flat on your belly because it presses on your diaphragm and increases the effect of the heartbeat on your chest, and bringing one knee up, relieves this pressure. For Those of us that have a larger less sleek belly, this is even more important. ;) 2 = Also never eat a big meal just before you shoot if you can avoid it. this also places more pressure on the chest and effects the heart more. I have heard stories of some shooters that could almost stop there heart beat, all I could do was slow it. I learned what would help slow my heart beat and it did help. Having good trigger control also helps to know when to start applying pressure to the trigger and when to stop without punching the trigger worked for offhand matches and dealing with the heart beat most of the time and made an improvement in accuracy. Try different things to find out what works best for you, then practice, practice, practice. 👍 J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
