As has been mentioned before, the pucker factor is much different when the range is “two way” or a person is actually in harms way.TS

TS:
Your views on competitive shooters and sports psychology are clear. No need to continue that one. Be happy you are retired and are doing something you enjoy and in your own manner.
Stress is an interesting issue and I am curious as to your techniques in training guys to handle stress while involved in combat weapons training. I am curious if you have determined any consistency in stress between individuals and if you have been able to categorize these in any sort of specific terms. I think what I am asking is this. Can you manipulate conditions to cause specific types of stress and if so, how do you train the guys to reduce or eliminate these factors?
