Another case of more range time required. But as he did get one, we’ll say job well done!
I can go to the range and consistently shoot kill shots with no problem. However, if the adrenaline is pumping and your life is at risk along with your family and the bad guy is shooting back, my skill level would be far less. This is a good reason to have a laser on your pistol and home defense rifle.
He did good, very good.
