Best method to relax before firing?

I actually count to three and breathe out slowly. I know it sounds dumb, but my groupings get tighter right away when I do it at the range.

I see the shot in my mind, matching my breath to what the wind is doing.

Not dumb at all, breathing and counting really centers you.
