My own experience in competitive shooting is absolutely in line with LR1955's comments.
I have too many unhappy memories of watching a good score develop only to be thinking about that as the last shot or next to last shot broke and went enough out to send me down several places. Oh, yes, there was also that time when the shooter to my left hung the current playmate centerfold on his pistol box. Things would have been OK except that her picture reminded me of someone I knew very well...
Interestingly, if one follows his and LRRPF52's advice and shoots the group in rapid sequence focusing only on centering, relaxing, sight picture, and trigger pull something else happens. The wind conditions are likely to change much less than taking a half hour to get the same set of shots into the target.
Another benefit is that you won't need the whole two hours for shooting and can focus on getting set up and shooting.
