I'm going to chime in here for a sec...I've been competing for a few years and I've seen short guys, old guys, tall guys, fat guys and hot women dominate stages! Not sure what the right body type is for this sport. The people that put in the time are the ones that win! I've learned to not analyze so much about the results. You know when you shoot a stage what you were slow at. You watched every one else shoot the same stage, just watch and learn. Take that knowledge back to your practice sessions and practice what you suck at! Practicing what you suck at will get you the most from your efforts. Stick with the basics/fundamentals and don't analyze so much, you will drive yourself crazy! Practice is practice, thats when you should make mistakes. Push yourself! I think every practice should be uncomfortable, that way you are learning. Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and achieve things you didn't think were possible.
