If you are tactical shooter, by understanding human physiology you can learn to control your shot precisely. The tiny pulse of your heart can make the difference between a successful shot and an unsuccessful one. Learning to control your breathing allows you to control your heart rate. This limits an important variable in your shooting. You can actually stop your breathing altogether long enough to take a precise shot.
Breathe Slowly
Breathing slower lowers your heart rate. This is not always the easiest thing to control at the moment you pull the trigger because that is the most intense moment. Your heart will be fighting to pump harder, so you must breathe more slowly to combat your racing heart. The best way to control your breathing is to take normal, gentle, steady breaths.
Practice Relaxation Breathing
Relaxation breathing will help you develop the breathing technique for shooting. Lie down. Take a deep breath, and let it out. As you let it out, relax your legs and arms and other large muscles. Feel your limbs sink into the bed or ground. Take another breath, and relax the smaller muscles like your hands, fingers and feet. When exhaling the third time, relax your face. This exercise will train you to use relaxation breathing. Practice until you can relax this way in just a few seconds --- the time you will take between shots.
Danjeon Breathing
If you breathe according to Danjeon technique, you breathe only through the nose. Breathe in and out deeply and naturally, keeping the breath slow and steady. Ensure that your chest and shoulders do not move; the breath should be from the lower belly. Breathe in and out for the same length of time. When you breathe in, visualize positive life-giving energy; when you breathe out, envision getting rid of the toxins in your body. This type of breathing will help you develop an effective steady and predictable breathing pattern for shooting.
Stop Breathing
Any small movement in your body can throw off your aim on a target. The answer is to stop your breathing for the length of time it takes to take your shot. When you breathe naturally, the pause between your exhale and inhale is about two seconds long. By learning to extend this pause to 10 seconds, you will improve your shooting. Practice until you can extend this pause to 10 seconds.
Follow Through
Don't return to regular breathing after you pull the trigger. Maintain the relaxed state of the diaphragm, and make your next breath come from the belly, not the chest and shoulders. As soon as your first shot is over, you are preparing for the next shot. Stay relaxed and steady.
