Some people, too, have a knack for things.

For example, I was not highly trained (no practice shots) with my new crossbow 6 months ago.

Yet with 4 raccoons (that had killed chickens and pillaged my trashcans), the first 4 bolts I fired from crossbow ever, were direct hits (kills) on the raccoons. Illuminated sight made it easier, too.

I am and always have been a fair shot. Both my female offspring took to shooting like they were born with a gun in their hand. My oldest pissed off some guy at the range (so bad he packed up and left) when she was center ringing a 50 yard (yes, 50 yards) man size target with a S&W 6 inch barreled revolver - first shot low the next five all inside the ring. She was 16 at the time. I believe in natural talent and ability. My son who was Army Tier One can engage multiple targets in a fast walk and three tap four of them in about 7 seconds. He has fired over 500,000 rounds through pistols.
