For precision shots (50m, 10m, and 150 second series of Standard Pistol)

For beginning pistol shooters, the 'two breath' method is recommended for precision shots. For this:

* AFTER the shooter has the correct body position, AND the correct grip of the pistol
* You can take a slighly larger-than-normal breath to start the breating sequence - if you find that you take a longish time to release the shot, this slighly larger-than-normal breath will give your blood a bit more oxygen, but with the 'two breath method' and releasing the shot within a few second of getting into the desired aiming area you should not have much need for 'extra' oxygenation.
* The shooter inhales a NORMAL breath while raising the pistol to 'aim' in an area at the top of the target, and the sight alignment is adjusted (if necessary) while exhaling NORMALLY
* The shooter inhales a second NORMAL breath
* THEN while slowly lowering the pistol through the black aiming mark of the target, exhales (again, NORMALLY!)
* As the pistol comes through the desired aiming area, add pressure to the trigger

It is not only an 'introductory' procedure - watch some of the ISSFTV videos of 10, 25 and 50m precision stages and note how many of the world's best pistol shooters use it.

I don't think it offers too much to newer shooters, as they just get confused tring to remember too many things.
