That tells me a couple of things that actually matter, as opposed to my bill drill time. It tells me that fairly high shooting ability is just not needed. It tells me that taking time away from shooting, and spending it on other areas, like individual and team Tactics, or insertion and extraction techniques, is probably more important. Now, some of that doesn't apply to civilians, and never will. That's fine, but it does apply to my world. And in my world, I enjoy shooting very much. I just don't overestimate it's importance, or mistake high technical skill for anything other than high technical skill. My worst day, on demand ability is what matters to me, way more than any pr run. It's just not as exciting to talk about.
