Thank you guys.
Well, as mentioned before when it's easy to shoot (the "machine" takes over) and you don't really think at all. I knew after 3 series that I had shot 99 100 98 and some pressure came in the back of the head but since I knew that I had already won I could just relaxe somewhat and continue. But the last shot was a real pain in the ass. The question was 396 or 395 and even though I knew I had 395 quaranteed I really really wanted 396. Of course I shot a nine. =)
The timing of the shots was probably the biggest factor during this. They most often released automatically just as everything settled "perfectly" and everything was still. I don't think I waited for more than 3-4 seconds in my aiming area before the shots was released except for the nines and some of the tens.

Also I don't feel very much tention during these 40 rds matches as when shooting 60 rds matches for ranking. Somewhat strange, but that's the way it is. They feel pretty much like a training session, and on training I mostly shoot between 580 and 590 if I would count the points.
