Learned a lot upon the subject of ISSF 25 meter pistol shooting - and got a new personal record right on the first opportunity - after, last March, 19th, 2001, I took an official "enhanced training", by Domingos Rodrigues, the official and acclaimed Portuguese Shooting Federation National Pistol coach.

The coach video recorded all the shooters for in-class debrief
The main topics that enabled me to improve my technique and score were:
- Time control. To always use a chrono / timer on all actions. In particular upon the "loading" command to keep track and reproduce all movements within a time interval - 20 to 30 seconds to load the 5 bullets, and take the remaining of the 1 minute to sight in...
- Sight in and keep eyes up. While sighting in, on the time remaining after loading, keep eyes levelled up - like "waiting" for the sights to pop in front, between you and the target. Do not bring your eyes down to the bench following the pistol when you lower it between sight in essays. Do not focus on target. Get your brain "addicted" to the sights - eyes levelled, waiting for the comfort of the sights to pop up.
March, 26th, on the Benelli Tournament, I broke my personal record on this discipline - with a score of 528 / 600 (my previous record was 500 points, and the last 3 year average was 474). Very proud at the 8th place overall amoung 31 shooters .
