You hit the nail on the head. Can we take it to another level? What really is
our shooting program? Does sending one to an advanced school imply that he is now a great shot. Its only the beginning. Going downrange and shooting a bunch of bullets also does not make one an expert, but it does give a person insight into what he really needs to focus on. Many times concentrating on advanced skills instead of the basics and fundamentals of shooting gives individuals false sense of skill. I see it every class. (I've been there, done that, have two years time...but I can't shoot a group at 25m with my M4)
