I frequently read posts, by people I respect, that suggest to me that they have fallen under the spell of “the Accuracy trap.”
If you want to work towards your potential as a shooter, you obviously need to own speed and accuracy. Preoccupation with either speed or accuracy is likely to retard your development. Personally, I find accuracy easier than speed, and I need to regularly challenge myself to go all out on speed, to keep developing. I see many solid shooters, who clearly have become comfortable with accuracy and have given insufficient attention to developing their speed.
One approach to developing speed, is to go one baby step at a time, trying to develop speed without sacrificing accuracy. If that is your approach, you better start young, as this will take lots of time. Another approach is to go big, with the knowledge that until you do something once, you can’t repeat it. This can be messy, but I think it is ultimately a better approach at getting big gains, with less time.
