The timer adds more stress than you think it would. The cure for next time is to practice manipulating your weapon as much as possible (drawing, sight acquisition, target transition, reloads). All of that can be done in your own home with dry-fire practice. Everyone thinks you need recoil to get real practice, but recoil management is only one of many technical skills that you need to do well in competition (winning isn't just about shooting fast and accurately...it is just as much about stripping away all of your inefficiencies in movement and gun handling).
As for recovering from a tanked stage during the match, I find that a combination of two things works for me:
- Stop thinking about what you just did wrong
- (More importantly to me) Use visualization on the next/remaining stages (imagine how you want to shoot the stage, and see yourself shoot it perfectly)
