Indeed.
Also shooting in the dark/low light is difficult or impossible to practice yourself. I wish I could just go to the outdoor range at night to try my weapon lights without needing to take a special class.
Actually, my club's indoor range allows you to dim the lights, and is often deserted at odd hours. Lets just say, depending on what you are shooting, muzzle flash is a thing.
Also. Watch More Jerry M.
He really is a rare talent. He obviously shoots a lot and those big mitts help, but some guys are just natural shooters and he is one of them.
You never saw scopes on M16s
The recruits have ACOGs now. I hope I didn't ruin your dinner.
I learned long ago that handgun shooting is all mental. The mechanics of shooting is the easy part. Stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger press, follow through are all pretty easy to learn, and with practice, become second nature.
Firing a handgun is basically setting off an explosion about two feet from your face. Human brains are hardwired to move away from and flinch when that happens. It is an involuntary, reflexive response to the concussion, sound and recoil of the cartridge going off.
The first step is acknowledging that it is involuntary, and working to control it. Then you can really focus on the mechanics and you start to become very consistent.
Shooting is all in your head.
