For me, shooting amd golf have a lot in common when it comes to equipment. Bad equipment can negate any advantage I may have in technique, attitude, strategy, etc. But if I have decent equipment, then it is up to me to practice, practice, practice, and solidify my fundamentals.
Just like in golf, when I begin to shoot bad, it is because I am neglecting my fundamentals - I am flinching or not getting a good sight picture, whatever. When I shoot well my fundamentals are good.
And, like golf, I find that I can't automatically buy a better score. Just like I can miss a putt just as well with a $300 putter as with the beater that came with my first set, I can miss targets just as well with a $5000 race gun as I can with my stock G17. I still have to aim, control the trigger, follow through, and think ahead.
