I find it kind of like Chinese brush calligraphy. The brushstroke reveals your emotional state, you have to be still and calm, empty your mind, and do one stroke over and over - I'd cover sheets with fifty single horizontal strokes, trying to feel the brush into the perfect movements. It was more mediation than anything.
Right now, I don't have endurance. After 50 rounds, my concentration fades.
I've been watching videos. There don't seem to be many videos of actual NRA bullseye competition, but there are videos of Olympic (ISSF) competition.
