Some people are great shooters, a lot can be trained, but I think there are some with that extra quality that makes them naturally great shooters. They are naturals. There skills can be honed and sharpened, but they already have the tools to be extremely accurate.

For me, I don't think I could ever shoot enough to feel comfortable at 200+.

I never take a shot unless I KNOW that I can make that shot each and every time. Doesn't mean I always pay attention to the details to always actually make the shot, but I have to know that I can to feel comfortable taking the shot.

If you are one of those people, go for it, but I think we are giving "average" shooters like me the impression that they can buy a "new generation" muzzleloader and start shooting at 250 yards accurately.

So, I would replace the word "cosistently" with 99% of the time off the bench to feel proficient.
