Just curious.

I've been shooting 25yrd prone small bore in the local league.

I can shoot 95-97 on the practice card (98 is unusual, but occasionally, it happens !), but find that if I then shoot a competition (local league) card, it's usually a 90-94! Roughly. It's bloody depressing. My scores on this competition just finished would have been a whole lot higher if I'd used the practice cards instead.

I'm wondering if it's just eye strain from shooting another card so quick, or is it just because as soon as I see the little white sticker on that card down there, I get a pounding heart and shaky arms ?!

So I'm wondering - who shoots a full practice card (not a 2 diagram sighter), before they do a competition card ?
