Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

First take your time in the exercise, working with the sights and keeping both eyes open. Maintaining a proper grip, learn the sights and the gun's reaction to being fired. Begin with just putting the holes where you want them, take your time, get to know the gun and let your muscles learn what they need to do. After you have that down, you are ready to start using sight picture to make the hits without having to think about what you are seeing. As you practice the eyes and the muscles will co-ordinate so that you will have a correct sight picture and will only have to make the shoot/no-shoot decision. After more practice, keeping it smooth (slow is smooth) and working on your skills you will find you get smooth (slow is smooth) and after awhile you will find that your body is almost running on auto-pilot and the only thing you have to do is make tactical choices while your body smoothly carries out its tasks (smooth is fast).

I wish I could express the idea as eloquently as others on this board, just keep in mind "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" as you do your practice. It helps... a lot.
