============================================================
You have been doing by experience all that is necessary
for your shooting. That doesn't mean it didn't exist or
that you weren't allowing for it. You probably just never
stopped to analyse ( or over-analyse ) what you were doing.
I think the hunting analogy is probably closest. With
a little experience, you learn to lead.
