[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 636526, member: 9253"] Feeling confident is not the same as being certain of capability. Shooting 1/2" groups at a range once a week may give a person great confidence that they're an excellent shooter. But that may not translate into keeping "cold barrel" shots in an 8" kill zone at 500+ yards when they spot a deer. That takes a different form of practice. Having the skill and judgement to know when wind or other conditions may not allow a clean shot is not helped by feeling confident. [/QUOTE]
