What allows archers to stay focused between heartbeats?

Quick fact

Elite archers time their release to the 0.2-second pause between heartbeats to avoid the micro-movement caused by cardiac contraction.

Why this is interesting

The tremor from a single heartbeat is enough to move an arrow by several centimeters at 70 meters—so archers literally shoot between their own pulses.
