I see some of you guys talk about individual breaths per shot. Here is a way I train myself to shoot under stress when I can't exercise on a range. Get into position, breath, hold, fire five on one breath. Yes, even when standing. It really teaches you to have a very good position, to focus on staying calm, and having a smooth trigger pull. Try it sometime when you are messing around with the standing position. It is pretty fun and you would be surprised at how well you may just do providing you stay calm and focused.
That said, I have also shot rapids in High Power with three or more shots on one breath. With AR's firing light recoiling cartridges, you don't get knocked out of position very much if any and sometimes breathing between shots gets in the way. Cant do it with a bolt rifle or M-14 but with a 12 pound AR match rifle, it is sometimes easier.
