Isn't one of the best ways to get to the "cool head" state is to practice and practice and practice good techniques and in the hopes it will yield confidence? (and not just accuracy drills) The knowledge that you are proficient in the use of the weapon has to have at least some calming effect IMHO.
I know when I get out on the trap field my scores are generally better when I have confidence in my shooting (and that only comes with lotsa practice). It's not the same kind of stress as incoming fire to be sure, but take on the last 5 clays when you've got a 100 straight going!
Confidence in your ability goes a long ways to control the "yips."
