CED makes an IR emitter set that replaces the stock diffusers and supports. It works well with any ambient light level. You could shine incandescent floodlights at the stock diffusers, but it would be a PITA to set up and tear down. I use the IR setup all the time, and glue cardboard to the diffuser so the sensor won't be overwhelmed by strong light from directly overhead. That configuration is very reliable and completely independent ofambient light.

I'll second the recommendation for the IR skyscreens. I've used them for years, and they make seting up the CED indoors and using it a snap.
Pride and fear are emotions, which hope for an outcome. Outcomes take your attention from the present, where the shooting happens, to the future. It is totally impossible to do anything in the future, because it hasn't happened yet. The key to shooting your best is to be present as the witness of the shooting. Do not judge, do not give yourself anything to live up to. We can only shoot as well as we have trained ourselves to shoot. To try to shoot only induces stress. Be content with your current ability. And accumulate practice to improve that ability. Consolidate, build strength where you feel weakness. We cannot raise our ability until we accept our current limitations. Practice dissolves limitations. Matches simply define where the current limits exist. The game of shooting is all about redefining our limits.
