That's good! It means you are somewhat serious, and accordingly, your Beast is very afraid. Like a cornered rat, it will try one last ditch attempt to keep you from doing what it knows you are perfectly capable of doing. Why else would it be afraid?
Pay attention to the recoil and listen for the echo, but recognize it as your Beast's fear of dying, and not your own fear. There is no "trying" here, however. Eventually, you have to go in for the kill.
