Upping heart rate while shooting

[MSparks909]

Recently I decided to do a little test to see how much an elevated heart rate would affect my performance during shooting sessions. I shoot mostly in a local National Forest so I don't have to abide by any range safety rules per say...with that said, I was practicing some slow fire 25 yard work and decided to put my handgun on the tailgate, do 25 burpees, and resume shooting. Not surprisingly, it was much harder to keep my heart rate and breathing from influencing my shooting. I was wondering if any of you incorporate any kind of physiological stressors into your training, such as an elevated heart rate, etc. I think I will do more of this type of shooting and incorporate it into some of my regular drills (Bill Drill, El Prez, 1-5, etc.). FWIW, I don't notice my respiratory rate changing much during local USPSA and 3-Gun matches.

And no, I don't plan on putting a plastic bag over my head like Instructor Zero

Search YouTube for Pat McNamara. I like set it off and holster and hoist.

burpees will do it. They suck.

The Defoor pistol tests have a little running incorporated into them, try them.

Thanks for the tip. Watched a few of his drills. Definitely going to run some of them in the future.

Thanks for the link. His pistol/carbine tests are on my to-do list.

I will do the 10 round assault course several times if I'm at my range. By rep 5 or so shooting a 95+ <16sec is darn near impossible.
