I know this sounds really silly, but if you are looking for a good physical stress shooting test eat a habanero. I know it sounds crazy but when you eat that pepper you have about 10 seconds till your brain goes into complete panic mode. Trust me it works, it is really hard to focus on good shooting technics when all you can think about is milk.

I like this idea, really. That is the right answer in my book. Anything to induce real stress that doesn't involve permanent injury.

Here is a better one. Eat the stuff and drink a bunch of milk. Then eat more and when you are about ready to both shit and vomit, then do your shooting.
What 'shooting techniques' would you focus on?

This requires video. I'm going to use it for my next CCW course, maybe during a night fire. Might even inject some hot sauce into the pepper just for good measure.

Maybe put some hot sauce in you eyes, spray your face with bear repellent, then smear your privates with vicks rub. Then see how well you shoot. Maybe save just 1 bullet-for yourself.

Here's a couple of pics of me in security force school. One of the final evals was getting sprayed with OC (military grade pepper spray/the fires of hell in a bottle) and running a course where you had to demonstrate proficiency in all the skills you learned. The instructor watching me in the second pic was a BAD MOFO if you messed up he would step up the difficulty and intensity until you got it right.
This would be great training for precision shooting. If you could endure this and still get shots on target you would be ready for anything.

Talk about mental training!~!
Thanks for the posts -- am looking forward to reports of groups and symptoms.
I also hope the video doesn't make it to AFV!

Been there, done that. Didn't get sprayed there, but went through Security Forces training. I got sprayed a few weeks later when I arrived at 8th&I. What fun. :) FAST, PRP, or PSD?

Hot topic
How about this for an added line of pressure....break out the errector sets kids....
Ok, first lets think about the clown dunking contest at the fair.....
Setup your range and have a trigger mechanism that will only dispense the life saving milk, if you hit your target successfully.
:-D

We went through the school before we deployed to GTMO for guard duty. I was not in a fleet SF unit.

Ahh, very well. I think they cycle FAST units through there now. I've heard it's not the best place to be.

FAST units were going through it before I was there in 2001. The school couldn't be located in a worse location. Miserable weather the entire time. The training was pretty good though.
