Alvin York believed that the best practice for Match shooting was match shooting. He believed that the best practice for combat was also match shooting. It's funny how a trophy or ribbon or piece of tin can increase the hear rate and make things harder. It also tests your mental focus.
My advice is to try one of the smaller matches. People will help you, particularly if you make it known that you need help. But waiting doesn't work. It just makes you wait longer.
