About 5-6 years ago I went turkey hunting in the Uwharrie National Forest, in central NC...I walked into an encampment of Army Rangers in training....The CO was a good old boy from Kentucky, he invited me to sit down to a hot cup of coffee...We chatted for over an hour, he said he had about 15 guys training with him, most had never fired a gun, they only used blanks while in his training....He let me know that these particular guys had a long ways to go to get where they needed to be...Actually told me he wished he had a bunch of country boys to work with as he felt they would adapt quicker....I have thought about that bunch quite a bit, hope they all came home safe from what he was training them for (he was evasive as to what their future would be)....Before I left I asked if he could use a deer ham....He lit up....Said they had been eating K-rations over 2 weeks...
I went home, loaded my backpack with a deer ham from the freezer, along with some salt, pepper, A-1, Worchester, beans, potatoes, onions, tin foil etc. and took it back to him...You would have thought I would have handed him $500...

All this being said, my dad was in WW-II, Army infantry and he definately felt that his training as a hunter while growing up was the reason he came back home...

I have a good friend that I hunt with quite a bit, was in the Navy, in artillery....Guys he is one of the worse shots I have ever seen...You talk about flinching, this guy has it bad, he is also one of these guys that gets the shakes real bad when a deer walks up...Yet he swears he qualified as expert with a 1911...

So I guess its like others have said....It just depends...My 15 year old niece has killed 3 does with 3 shots the last 2 years, using a 22-250 and 60 gr Nosler Partitions, and dropped every one to a high shoulder shot....She is a better shot than my 40 year old ex-Navy buddy....
