It is a normal physiological phenomenon for human beings to blink their eyes. The average rate of blinking eyes for people is to blink once in about every six seconds, more or less. And when people are under a condition of nervous or anxious or so, they will blink more than usual. And when they calm down and recover to the normal mood, their blinking frequency will accordingly return to the normal level. Therefore, you had better let yourself calm down and relax when you are shooting. Take a deep breath and then focus on the target. You can appropriately extend the interval of blinking so that you can have a little bit more time to make sure that you can shoot at the targets.
