Psychological fear of getting bopped by the scope very likely caused you to tense up. I've never been "bopped by the scope" but an old hunting buddy used to get the treatment about once a year. He got it from a 7mm mag in Montana, a 12 gauge slug gun in Illinois, and a TC 50 muzzleloader in Colorado while in my presence. He came up asking "did I hit it" each time. I can't say it made him a better shot.
