If you are trained to take up the slack to the same position ("the wall"), and then use your breath control and heart beat to minimize movement of your air gun then you want that first stage. If you don't want that technique then the first stage really doesn't matter. However, I don't know how you would achieve the same accuracy without that technique. By skipping the first stage, and getting right to it. What advantage is given by extra time, pressure, and steps?

Or do you just begin holding your breath and pulling at random each time? Or don't you you control your breathing and get right to snapping the trigger when the target picture looks right? The advantage of the extra time, pressure and steps is accuracy and repeatability.
