It seemed like after struggling in the first round I lost a lot of shooting confidence and the performance got into my head. Any advice on how to refocus after a bad run and put it behind you?
I had a similar experience. I had a miss early in a match and it put me into the mindset of "just get through the match, you've blown your chance to put up a good score".

The score was, predictably, quite poor, but after analyzing it, I realized that it wasn't the miss that had blown my chances for posting a decent score, it was my attitude for the rest of the match.

The lesson is you can shoot a match or you can try to keep score during a match, but you can't do both. Concentrate on your shooting and let the scorekeepers do their work without your help.
