Every American a cowboy with a six-shooter
One of the great enduring myths; every American a shooter.
Accurate shooting takes a certain amount of natural ability. It also requires practice, practice and practice to get even better.
Ever go to a basketball game and watch some players shoot fouls. Sometimes they are college scholarship athletes and sometimes NBA pros. Some still have trouble hitting the "broad side of a barn" it seems.
Decades ago I had an acquaintance who taught police marksmanship training. Some of his stories were scary about the inaccuracy.
