In my experience.you shoot best when you shoot "in your routine".if you drink a litre of coffee every morning.drink a litre of coffee morning of your match.if you smoke a pack a day.smoke the day of your match.if you drink kale smoothies every day for lunch.drink a fucking kale smoothie when you shoot.you dont want to do anything different. I do not know a single serious shooter who shoots on Beta Blockers. Ive shot competetions most of my life.everything from informal club matches, regionals, NCAA, National matches.i know Olympians and people who make a living off of shooting.if theres a trick involved in shooting, ive heard it. ![]() If you want to go out and get a prescription just to shoot, I say go ahead, just don't compete.

The adrenaline (nor epinephrine) has an immediate effect. I have some very specific experience with epinephrine injections and also the feeling you get doing public speaking. I think some people are conflating the long term side effects and reasons for long term use with the short term effects. Don't stop drinking coffee in the morning. Don't start drinking coffee in the morning. Don't decide now is the time to get into shape, right before a match.
