Are You a Good Shot or a Bad Shot? I saw that it was better to be a good shot than a bad shot, and ever since, I’ve been studying both kinds of shooters to see what makes them tick. As G. Sitton put it: “All the good shots I know have the nervous systems of reptiles.” This is something that cannot be learned or acquired. This can be a better rifle, or a better barrel, or a better scope, or a better trigger, or a 6.5 Creedmoor. Good shooting is good shooting; it doesn’t matter what you’re shooting at.
