I'm not really sure. I think it might be somewhat subjective to a few things. I mean, there are specialist who are considered experts in thier fileds. Say a small arms specialist, a highly trained sniper, an automatic weapons specialist. all considered to be experts in thier craft. I think personally an expert should not only have great shooting prowess but also have equal skill in the knowledge of firearms, safety and operation. That to me might be an "expert". Now at the range, I get alot of informal but personal instruction from the range master who is an ex Army Ranger and now teaches courses at the range. At 100yrds he can split a standard size buisiness card in half on edge. The skill has been validated. He also knows alot about firearms, safety and operation. He has helped me in a number of ways including stance/posture, breathing, target acquisition etc. Is he an "expert". To me yes, and obviously he has had well thought professional training with countless hours devoted. That however is my perception of an expert, others may have other views on what expert is.
