How does mental stress impact performance in timed shooting stages like 'Shoot N' Scoot'?

Mental stress from a ticking timer can lead to rushed shots, poor sight alignment, and missed targets. This can create a feedback loop of anxiety, making it harder to focus. Practicing under pressure and developing discipline to ignore the timer are key to overcoming this.
