Used to know a fellow who ran a gun shop. Their main product was semi-custom hunting rifles and as a result they did a lot of basic gunsmithing. Recoil pads, scope mounting, bore sighting, etc.
He used to marvel at how many folks would come in and have him boresight their rifle the day before they left on a hunting trip. He was always sure to remind them that they needed to finish zeroing the gun at the range but said that most told him they never did.
This is a bit different, but I know a guy who frequently shows up to pistol matches with ammunition that he reloaded the night before. He would reload a batch with a new recipe just before a match and then come shoot the match without sighting in his pistol for that load and without having any idea about the accuracy of the recipe. For a long time I thought he was just a poor shot until one match he came with some ammunition that shot well in his gun and that his gun was sighted for. Made a huge difference, and that's with a pistol at relatively short ranges.
