Everybody reacts to pressure differently. My reaction to dangerous game is to go into "automatic" mode. The shakes come after it's all over. When I shot my first elephant, I suddenly reminded myself that I needed to reload after the elephant was down. I opened the bolt, only to find my rifle fully loaded. Puzzled, I looked down at the four fired shells on the ground, and only then came to the realization that I had re [/list] loaded automatically without even being aware of it. When I was shooting, it was as though everything was in slow motion, and I had no recollection of the noise of the rounds gong off.

This didn't happen on later occasions when I shot elephant.

Pressure at a club shoot is one thing. Pressure at the National Matches, which I have attended probably 30 times is something else. The greatest pressure arises at the end of a string when shooting a good score. I once shot a 200-18X on the 600 yard reduced target at 100 yards, with the X ring only 3/4" in diameter. By the last shot I was so pumped up, I am surprised I even hit the target, but the last shot was a "10".
